Amit Shah sets one-year target for full rollout of new criminal laws
Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the government will ensure full implementation of three new criminal laws within a year, aiming to speed up case disposal and raise conviction rates by 25%. He also spoke on border security and making the country 'infiltrator-free'.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced on Tuesday that the government will achieve 100% implementation of the country's three new criminal laws within the next year. Speaking at the valedictory session of the Intelligence Bureau's National Security Strategy Conference in New Delhi, Shah said the target also includes enabling disposal of criminal cases, including at the Supreme Court level, within three years and increasing the conviction rate by 25%.
Shah said the conference should look 15-20 years ahead, identify emerging threats, and formulate strategies to prevent them from becoming major challenges. He also said the government was working towards strengthening border security and making the country 'infiltrator-free' in a short period. Shah noted that he had visited all land-border states over the past eight months.
The new criminal laws replace colonial-era statutes but details of the rollout and specific provisions were not discussed in the available portion of his address.
