The Punjab government has divided the Lahore prisons region and established a new Gujranwala region comprising five jails, according to a notification issued by the Home Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The notification was issued following approval of a summary moved by the Home Department on the orders of the Punjab governor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under the new arrangement, Central Jail Gujranwala, District Jail Narowal, District Jail Sialkot, District Jail Hafizabad and Sub-Jail Pindi Bhattian have been placed under the newly created Gujranwala region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new region will be headed by a Deputy Inspector General of Prisons, while a new DIG Gujranwala is expected to be appointed soon, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The five prisons were previously part of the Lahore region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officials said the creation of the Gujranwala region is aimed at improving prison administration and strengthening supervision of jails in the area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
