Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi visited the Nyaya Sanhita Exhibition at the IDCO Exhibition Ground, Unit‑3, Bhubaneswar, and announced that the exhibition will continue for two more days until March 12.
Exhibition Extension
Originally scheduled to conclude today, the exhibition will now run until March 12 following the Chief Minister’s directive. The event, inaugurated on March 6 during Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit, highlights India’s new criminal justice framework under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam.
CM’s Observations
Majhi inspected stalls, praised Odisha Police’s awareness initiatives, including street plays, and lauded the quality of exhibits by the Home Department. He emphasised that the new laws mark the end of colonial‑era frameworks and strengthen citizen‑centric justice delivery.
The Chief Minister noted that Odisha’s conviction rate rose by 87.6% by the end of 2025 after the implementation of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. He highlighted improvements across investigation and trial stages, including a 166% rise in Zero FIRs.
Modernisation Drive
Majhi also pointed to initiatives such as laying the foundation for National and Central Forensic Science institutions, signing MoUs with IIT Bhubaneswar and the National Defence University to train police in modern technology and advanced skills.
Participation
Senior Odisha Police officials, students from schools and law colleges, and legal professionals attended the exhibition, which aims to educate citizens about the impact of India’s revamped justice system.
