Gandhinagar: Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced a significant 70% reduction in violence across Jammu and Kashmir, the North-East, and Naxal-affected regions over the past decade. Speaking at the 50th All India Police Science Conference at Rashtriya Raksha University, he attributed the progress to the security measures taken by the BJP-led government. He emphasized that these regions, once regarded as highly volatile, have seen marked improvement in safety and stability under the current administration.

Shah highlighted the government’s reforms in the criminal justice system, including the implementation of three new criminal laws—Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam. These laws, replacing colonial-era statutes like the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), aim to make justice delivery faster and more scientific. Shah assured that under the new system, justice could be delivered within three years from the registration of an FIR.

Additionally, Shah underscored the importance of transforming the Indian criminal justice system into one of the most efficient in the world. He credited the new reforms for streamlining judicial processes and addressing public grievances effectively. The minister’s remarks come amidst ongoing efforts to enhance law enforcement and security across India’s historically troubled regions.
