Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today stressed on the need to revamp the entire jail administration in the state, after he paid a surprise visit to the Central jail in Nagpur, from where five criminals escaped last month.

"Just paid a surprise visit to Central Jail, Nagpur. A lot still needs to be done. Entire jail admin requires a revamp," he tweeted after this visit.

The visit by the chief minister, who also holds the home portfolio, comes 20 days after five hardened criminals escaped from the high security jail and are still at large.
