“Now is the time for the police force to step forward in protecting the fundamental rights of citizens, reducing crime, and ensuring justice is delivered swiftly. The responsibility for doing it lies on the shoulders of our police force,” Shah said.
Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems
During his address, Shah said that 99 per cent of the police stations in India have been connected through Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS).
On the new criminal laws, the minister said," These three laws will emphasise that people get justice in time, the conviction rate rises to the highest point, and technology is used to the maximum. We have made the process time-bound in 86 different aspects of policing, prosecution, and judiciary."
“On account of incorporating scientific evidence, the prosecution is saved from searching for different kinds of evidence. In November, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji will inaugurate the first unit in Chandigarh, and within five years after that, the entire nation will avail the benefit of the changes in the legal system,” he added.
