‘Exhibition on new criminal laws received overwhelming response’

Additional Chief Secretary, Home Department, Sumita Misra on Monday said an exhibition being organised in Kurukshetra on the new criminal laws attracted overwhelming public response, particularly from youngsters.

The exhibition, inaugurated by Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah on October 3 at the KDB Mela Ground, Kurukshetra, was being hailed as a unique learning experience that brought complex legal reforms to life, Misra added.

The event will continue until October 11.

The exhibition features 10 stalls representing seven key departments, each providing an interactive view of how the criminal justice system operates in real time.

Misra said a replica of the Dial 112 Control Room vividly demonstrated how distress calls were swiftly received and processed, with Emergency Vehicle Response (EVR) units dispatched within minutes, while interactive demonstrations by Scientific and Forensic (SFL) teams showcased the precision and transparency of technology-driven evidence collection.

Detailed exhibits illustrated the systemic roles of hospitals, forensic laboratories, and police departments, with clear comparisons between old and new procedural systems, guiding visitors through the transformative journey of judicial reforms across re-engineered courts and prison systems, the Additional Chief Secretary said.
