Srinagar, Kashmir — On September 11, the Crime Branch Kashmir’s Economic Offences Wing will host a public education event titled “New Criminal Laws Exhibition” at JK Police Public School in Bemina. Aimed at fostering legal literacy, the exhibition will present recent criminal code reforms under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (all enacted in 2023).
Scheduled from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, the exhibition will use visual aids, infographics, and real-life scenarios to explain how these legal updates affect citizens, especially students, parents, and community stakeholders. The format invites visitors to explore concepts such as civilian safety laws, evidence protocols, and citizen protections in a hands-on manner.
This public outreach aims to cut through legal jargon and bring reforms into real-world understanding. Officials say the approachable exhibition format encourages dialogue and awareness, allowing attendees to ask questions and navigate the changes constructively.
The event will also feature civil society members, including legal experts and educators, who will be available to clarify law provisions and encourage deeper conversations on justice and public policy.
Being open to all, the initiative reflects a progressive push toward empowering communities through information. The organizers hope the exhibition will spark broader civic readiness to understand and uphold the evolving legal framework.
As an educational initiative, the exhibition underscores how public-facing exhibitions can convey complex subjects—like criminal law—in meaningful ways. It also highlights the role of law enforcement in connecting policy with public awareness.
Ultimately, the exhibition serves as an interpretive bridge between legislation and everyday citizens—adding clarity to legal changes while reinforcing the importance of informed citizenship.
