While the focus on forensics is welcome, I hope the government ensures these facilities are accessible and benefit the common people of Odisha, not just remain elite institutions. The MoU with IIT Bhubaneswar is a positive step.

Strengthening CISF and forensic capabilities is crucial for national security. The Mobile Forensic Van is a great idea for on-the-spot investigation in remote areas. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Interesting to see the emphasis on the 'New Nyaya Sanhita' exhibition. Public awareness about new laws is as important as the laws themselves. Hope it travels to other states too.

Bhumi Pujan for new institutions shows respect for our traditions while building modern India. The courses in Cyber Law and Digital Forensics are very relevant for today's challenges.

As someone from Cuttack, it's heartening to see such high-profile events here. Hope the development focus continues for the entire state, not just the capital. The police station buildings need upgrading badly.
