Uttarakhand: Amit Shah inaugurates 'Nootan Nyaya Sanhita' exhibition in Haridwar

Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurates a state-level exhibition on new criminal laws in Haridwar, as Uttarakhand ranks first in their implementation.

"Uttarakhand has ranked first in the country in the effective implementation of the new laws - Official Release"

Haridwar, March 7

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday inaugurated a state-level exhibition on "Nootan Nyaya Sanhita" organised by the Uttarakhand government at Bairagi Camp in Haridwar.

The exhibition aims to spread awareness and highlight the effective implementation of the new criminal laws introduced by the Government of India, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA).

The exhibition has been organised to familiarise citizens, advocates, police personnel, prosecution officers, and other stakeholders with the modern criminal justice system. Key provisions of the new laws are being presented through simple, visual, and interactive formats.

These include mandatory time-bound investigation and filing of charge sheets, the provision of Zero FIR and e-FIR, compulsory forensic investigation in crimes punishable with more than seven years of imprisonment, recognition of electronic and digital evidence, and stronger legal provisions for crimes against women and children.

It is noteworthy that Uttarakhand has ranked first in the country in the effective implementation of the new laws, such as the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The exhibition will remain open to the public until 9 March.

Earlier in the day, Shah also inaugurated a development exhibition at Bairagi Camp in Haridwar, showcasing the achievements of the Uttarakhand government. He visited various stalls and reviewed the exhibits highlighting the state's progress.

The exhibition is based on the development initiatives undertaken by the state government over the past four years under the leadership of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. It highlights major works related to infrastructure development, strengthening of road connectivity, expansion of healthcare services, reforms in the education sector, investment promotion, tourism development, preservation of religious and cultural heritage, and development of border areas.

Several important and historic decisions taken by the state government have also been showcased as part of the exhibition.

The provisions for crimes against women and children sound promising on paper. But the real test is on the ground. Will the police stations actually register Zero FIRs without hassle? Hope this exhibition leads to actual behavioral change in our law enforcement.

Good to see Haridwar hosting such events. As a law student, I find the interactive format for explaining the new Sanhitas very useful. The old laws were confusing for common people. Making legal knowledge accessible is half the battle won.

While the new laws are a step forward, I hope the exhibitions and awareness campaigns reach the remotest villages in the hills. Often, such initiatives remain confined to major towns. The true success lies in empowering every citizen, not just urban advocates.

Mandatory forensic investigation for serious crimes is a game-changer! This should reduce reliance on forced confessions and improve conviction rates. Uttarakhand topping the implementation chart is a proud moment for us locals. Jai Uttarakhand! 🙏

The development exhibition part is also important. Our border areas need constant attention and investment for national security. Glad to see the state's progress being highlighted alongside legal reforms. A holistic approach to governance.
