NEW DELHI: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today participated in a high-level meeting chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah to discuss the implementation of the New Criminal Laws enacted by Parliament in July 2024.

 The meeting was part of the ongoing review sessions held by the Union Home Minister with various States and UTs to assess the rollout and enforcement of these new laws across the country.

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah stated that the discussions centered on modernization, expediting justice, and ensuring a victim-centric approach to law enforcement.

 “Today, it was Jammu & Kashmir’s turn to review the implementation of the new criminal laws. I am pleased to report that on the implementation front, Jammu and Kashmir has performed well,” the Chief Minister said.

Stressing the importance of public awareness, Chief Minister emphasized that the Government will play its part by extensive outreach programs to educate people about the new criminal laws by engaging schools, colleges, universities, and social and political forums to ensure that citizens, especially the youth, are well-informed about their rights, responsibilities and the broader impact of these legal changes.
