Chandigarh sets benchmark by implementing 100 per cent of new criminal laws in just 90 days
New Indian ExpressNEW DELHI: Chandigarh has become the first among all states and Union Territories in India to implement 100% of the new criminal justice laws within just 90 days. The Chandigarh Police worked in a mission-driven mode to demonstrate how the new criminal justice laws emphasise “justice” over “punishment” by ensuring swift, scientific, and tamper-proof investigative processes from the crime scene to the courtroom. Within the first 90 days of implementing the new laws, the police achieved remarkable milestones, including the registration of 1,179 FIRs and the submission of 245 charge sheets, setting a benchmark for efficient law enforcement. Plans are underway for a similar display at Mahakumbh 2025 in Prayagraj to raise public awareness about the benefits of the new laws by UP police.
