Government Polytechnic Jammu today organised an awareness session for students on Drug Addiction and three newly introduced criminal laws ‘Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita’, Bhartiya Nagrik Surakhsha Sanhita, Bhartiya Sakshya Sanhita’. Mr. Kartik Shrotriya, (IPS) SDPO Gandhi Nagar, Jammu presented a power point presentation on the stating laws and highlighted the salient features thereof. He sensitised the students about ill effects of drugs and also pointed out need of new criminal laws starting that the earlier laws were largely influenced by the colonial mindset and lacked the humanist approach. Most of the laws were arbitrary in nature and didn’t provide the scope for the use of modern technology in dealing with crime. While as the new laws are based on humanist values and are victim centric. These new laws allow the use of technology in dealing with crime and provide for the time bound disposal of cases. He further insisted all the participants present there to study the laws and make others aware as well. Principal of Institute Er. Arun Bangotra appreciated the efforts of Police department for taking these initiatives of awareness with regard to these newly introduced criminal laws and advised the students to stay away from drugs and lead a healthy life.
