Nagaland Police has taken various initiatives regarding implementation of the new criminal laws on Monday. All police units were instructed in advance to conduct training of investigation officers (IOs) instrumental in implementation of these Laws.
An effort was made to translate the important portion of all three new criminal laws — Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) — to sensitise the public in their own dialect. The IOs have been asked to conduct rallies and seminars for creating awareness among the general public.
Several initiatives like seminars on new laws were conducted for police personnel at police station level, ward members, students, NGOs and village elders, while pamphlets and documentary materials were distributed and banners in local dialects were displayed in town areas. It has been ensured to have partnership with all important stakeholders of the society. This was stated in a press release.
