Bhopal, April 7 (NationPress) The Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Mohan Yadav, is set to lead a series of high-level discussions with the home department aimed at assessing the state’s law and order situation, the enactment of three newly established criminal laws, and the current status of anti-Maoist operations within the state.
The three new criminal laws -- Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) -- were implemented nationwide, including Madhya Pradesh, on July 1 of the previous year.
These laws have replaced the outdated colonial-era Indian Penal Code (IPC), Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and Indian Evidence Act, with the intention of addressing contemporary crimes such as cybercrime, data theft, and digital fraud through more stringent penalties.
Chief Minister Yadav previously stated that the execution of these laws is under continuous oversight, with appropriate measures being implemented as per the Union Home Ministry’s directives.
Alongside the effective application of the new legal framework, the state government has embraced a five-pronged approach which encompasses public awareness initiatives, capacity building via training, technological enhancements, resource allocation, and the issuing of essential regulations and notifications.
During discussions with senior officials, including Chief Secretary Anurag Jain and Director General of Police Kailash Makwana, the Chief Minister will also evaluate the progress of anti-Maoist operations in the districts of Mandla, Balaghat, and Dindori.
Recently, security forces have successfully neutralized over half a dozen Maoists in Mandla and Balaghat, which includes two armed female Maoist operatives who were killed last week in the forests of Mandla district.
On February 19, four Maoists were eliminated in a clash within the Supkhar forest area of Balaghat.
As Chhattisgarh intensifies its crackdown, several Maoists are believed to have fled to the border districts of Madhya Pradesh. In the last four months, at least 130 Maoists have been killed in encounters, with over 110 in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar division, including Bijapur and Kanker districts.
Moreover, more than 105 Maoists have been apprehended, and 164 have surrendered as the authorities strive to restore peace in the area.
