In addition, a state-level exhibition on the theme "Nyaya Sanhita" will also be organized at Bairagi Camp from March 7 to March 9, 2026. The exhibition aims to create awareness about the effective implementation of the new criminal laws introduced by the Government of India the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam.
The new legal codes mark a comprehensive and historic transformation in India's criminal justice system. Their objective is to replace colonial-era provisions and establish a citizen-centric, transparent, accountable, and technology-driven justice system. Under the concept of "Justice instead of mere punishment," priority has been given to protecting the rights of victims, safeguarding the dignity of women and children, and ensuring scientific and time-bound investigations.
The exhibition will present the key features of the new legal codes in a simple and effective manner. These include mandatory time-bound investigation and filing of charge sheets, provision of zero FIR and electronic FIR, compulsory forensic investigation for offences punishable with more than seven years of imprisonment, recognition of electronic and digital evidence, stronger provisions for crimes against women and children, clear penal provisions for organised crime, cybercrime and terrorism, victim compensation schemes, and mechanisms for speedy return of property.
During the exhibition, theatrical presentations, model case studies, digital displays, and public interaction sessions will be organised to explain the concepts of speedy justice, scientific investigation, and citizen convenience in an engaging manner.
The event will serve as an important platform to showcase the development journey of Uttarakhand, the government's commitment to good governance, and its efforts to make the state progressive and prosperous.
