Srinagar, Sep 11 || Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor (L-G) Manoj Sinha said on Thursday that the new criminal laws will strengthen the country's zero tolerance towards terrorists.
The L-G made these comments while inaugurating an exhibition on 'New Criminal Laws' at the Jammu and Kashmir Police Public School in Srinagar's Bemina.
He commended the initiative of the Jammu and Kashmir's Economic Offences Wing to raise awareness and educate students, parents and the general public.
He said that the exhibition will help in achieving broader objectives of shaping understanding on new laws and ensuring justice to the last man in the queue.
"After almost 150 years, India's criminal justice system underwent a significant overhaul on July 1, 2024. The 'Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita', 'Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita', and 'Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam' were implemented nationwide to replace colonial-era laws, making the legal system more transparent and efficient.
