JASHPUR  : Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Thursday reviewed a public awareness stall set up by Jashpur Police to educate citizens on the newly enacted criminal laws during his visit to Narayanpur village. The Chief Minister spent time examining the exhibits, presentation modules and information panels, and praised SSP Shashimohan Singh and his team for creating a clear and accessible model to communicate major legal reforms to the public.

The stall remained one of the most visited points at the venue as police personnel explained the provisions of the new laws in simple language, answered questions from villagers and helped them understand how procedural changes affect everyday policing and justice delivery. “Such exhibitions and awareness activities play an important role in keeping citizens informed of legal changes and in strengthening trust between police and the community,” the Chief Minister said after reviewing the stall.

The exhibit highlights the core features of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, which have replaced the long-standing colonial-era statutes. Officials briefed visitors on how the new framework prioritizes a victim-centric approach, ensures time-bound procedures from e FIR registration to judicial stages, and enhances transparency across the criminal justice chain.

A dedicated section at the stall showcases the increased use of scientific and technological evidence such as fingerprint analysis, DNA profiling and voice sampling that now hold central significance in investigation and prosecution. Officers explained that these tools have strengthened accuracy, speed and impartiality in criminal inquiries.

SSP Shashimohan Singh, speaking about the initiative, said public response has exceeded expectations. “People are actively visiting the stall. Posters, models and digital presentations are helping citizens understand the new laws easily, and this is increasing awareness at the grassroots level,” he said.

The stall also displays important emergency and assistance helpline numbers and educates visitors on digital reporting mechanisms. According to police, similar awareness efforts will continue across the district to deepen public understanding of the new legal architecture.
