In Sikkim, six prisoners escaped from the State Prison at Rongyek near Gangtok this afternoon. They all were serving life-terms.The Jail officials said the absconders took the advantage of a lax security during the prisoners’ normal tea-break. They sneaked into the playground, made ladders out of the wood of the football post and after cutting the barbed wires with pliers, escaped.The Jail official told that a massive manhunt has been launched to nab the absconding prisoners.While focus of search remains on the forests around Bhusuk and Assam Lingze areas, all the police stations, outposts and border-check posts too have been alerted.
