2. The Director General of Police, Chennai-4, in his letter second read above has stated that, 14 cases
are registered involving 129 foreign nationals (including some women foreigners) in the State for their violation
of VISA conditions and other offences. The Commissioners of Police/ Superintendents of Police concerned are

is the only Special Camp functioning in the State and it has 40 rooms available (including recently renovated
20 rooms), in which 80 persons as the maximum can only be accommodated. At present, 73 foreigners have
been accommodated. About 20 foreigners are yet to be accommodated upon their release on bail from Central
Prison, Puzhal, on whom already G.O. has been issued. Presently, Trichy Special Camp is facing space constraint
to accommodate any foreigners. In the event of release of the above said 129 foreign nationals (including
women foreigners), they have to be accommodated in a special camp, till their deportation. However, as
mentioned above, there is no space for accommodating the said foreign nationals in Trichy Special Camp.
He has therefore, requested the Government to designate Borstal School, Puzhal Prison as a Special Camp,
as suggested by the Director General of Police/ Inspector General of Prisons to accommodate the foreign
nationals against whom 14 cases have been registered recently in the State for violation of VISA conditions
and other offences and therefore notification earmarking Borstal School, Puzhal Prison as Special Camp may
be issued by the Government at the earliest.
3. The Director General of Police/ Inspector General of Prisons, Chennai-8 in his letter third read above has stated
that, in the meeting held with the Director General of Police on 13.04.2020, it was informed that the capacity of Trichy
Special Camp is only 80 in which at present 73 foreigners have been accommodated. Further, many foreign nationals
who have been remanded to judicial custody for violating visa conditions have to be accommodated in Special Camp
in the event of their release on bail by the courts concerned. He has, therefore, requested the Government that the
Borstal School, Puzhal which has the capacity of 110 persons can serve as Special Camp to accommodate the foreign
nationals on their release from prison.
4. After examining the above proposal of the Director General of Police, Chennai-4 based on the report of
the Director General of Police / Inspector General of Prisons, Chennai-8 third read above, Government have
decided to rescind the earlier Notification issued in G.D. (Ms.) No.549, Home Department, dated 19.08.2014,
establishing a Borstal School in the premises of the transit yard in Central Prison, Puzhal, under Section 3 (1)
