Panaji: The newly inaugurated prison in Colvale village of Goa will be soon operational after India Reserve Battalion (IRB) takes over the outward security of this jail, a top official said today.
The Prison authorities have already finished all the inspections certifying it to be fit to transfer the prisoners.
"I will hold meeting in next two days to decide the exact date of shifting the prisoners," Goa's Inspector General of Prison Elvis Gomes told PTI.
IRB will take over the outward security of this 300-inmate prison which was inaugurated by state Chief minister Laxmikant Parsekar on May 30.

To start with, it will accommodate about 300 inmates which include all the 122 inmates of Aguada jail, inmates of judicial lock-up at Mapusa, and some inmates of Sada sub-jail.
