Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini today said that three new criminal laws will be fully implemented in the state by February 28. The Chief Minister was addressing the media after a meeting with Deputy Commissioners and Superintendents of Police regarding the implementation of three new criminal laws at Madhuban Police Academy in Karnal.
The Chief Minister said that fundamental changes will have to be made in the system according to the new criminal laws. He said that for this, the system of video conferencing will be implemented in about 445 courts.
The state will implement the three laws by February 28. CM Saini chaired the meeting on Thursday which was attended by the Chief Secretary Dr Vivek Joshi, Chief Principal Secretary to the CM Rajesh Khullar, DGP Shatrujeet Kapur, all Divisional Commissioners, ADGPs, IGPs of all ranges as well as police commissioners, DCs and SPs.
“Haryana will fully implement the three new criminal laws by February 28. For the smooth implementation of these laws, there is a need for fundamental changes in the system”, the CM further cited.
The state is also going digital by introducing video conferencing in 445 courts. He further emphasised adopting systems of e-summons and e-challans.
Speaking about embedding fear of forces in inmates, the CM said, “The police force must instill a sense of fear among criminals to deter unlawful activities. There must be a clear message that the law is strict and firm against criminals”.
“Along with adopting the system of e-summons and e-challan, around 445 video conferencing facilities will be implemented in the court for the presentation of prisoners through video conferencing from the jail itself. The government’s aim is to make the state a drug-free state. Instructions have been given to take more strict action against drug addiction”.
