State of Punjab - Subsection

Section 339(h) in Punjab Jail Manual, 1996

(h)Should it be a case of riot or disturbance inside the jail, the officer in charge will have to lead his men in to put it down. Before taking such a step, however, he shall first satisfy himself by enquiry from the sentry on the roof of the gateway that there are no prisoners in the enclosure in the vicinity of the gate. Should there be, the gate should not be opened till the crowd is dispersed, and this can be effectually done from the gateway roof. He shall then lead his men in double file or in "threes" between the gates. When the outer gate has been bolted and, locked, the inner one may be opened and the men marched in double time to the scene of the disturbance, to act as the officer in command may dictate.
