EXCLUSIVE | Mobile towers equipped with high-end technology to block signals installed in Tihar Jail

India TV News  

Several big changes are taking shape in the Tihar Jail in light of several incidents reported, due to which the authorities have installed mobile towers in the jail premises. Three big mobile towers have been installed in Tihar Jail, not for giving signals but for jammers. While ordinary jammers restrict phone signals in a limited area, these three towers will block any mobile phone service throughout Tihar Jail. For instance, if somehow a big high profile prisoner or a terrorist asks for a mobile phone in Tihar through any means, these three big towers will ban the signal of the device.
