Prime Minister Narendra Modi will today dedicate the successful implementation of three transformative criminal laws—Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam—to the nation in Chandigarh. The event is set to take place at 12 noon, marking a significant milestone in India’s legal and judicial transformation.
In a post on X, PM Modi expressed immense pride in the implementation of these laws, especially as they come into effect during the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Indian Constitution. “This is a special day for our efforts to ensure speedy justice for all citizens and to break free from colonial-era legal frameworks,” he wrote.
The event will feature a live demonstration, showcasing the practical application of these laws, including a simulated crime scene investigation.
Implemented nationwide on July 1, 2024, these laws are designed to make India’s legal system more transparent, efficient, and responsive to contemporary challenges like cybercrime and organized crime, ensuring justice for victims and promoting a secure society.
