Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said that the three new criminal laws are not punishment-oriented but victim-centric and they aim to ensure speedy justice. He said this while chairing a review meeting in New Delhi with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath over the implementation of the three laws in UP.

Mr Shah stressed that 100 per cent implementation of the new criminal laws should be ensured in all the seven commissionerates of Uttar Pradesh by March this year. He also said that the full implementation of new criminal laws in states with large populations like Uttar Pradesh will send a positive message across the entire country.

Speaking about the need to increase the use of technology, Mr Shah added that there should be more than one forensic mobile van available in every district of the state. The Minister also mentioned that there should be regular and continuous monitoring of how many of the total registered Zero FIRs have been transferred to the respective states. He urged the Chief Minister to review the progress of implementation of the laws every 15 days. He also asked the Chief Secretary and Director General of Police of the state to review once a week with officials of all the departments concerned.
