The new criminal laws, namely the Indian Judicial Code, the Indian Civil Protection Code, and the Indian Evidence Act, will come into force on July 1, replacing the IPC, CrPC, and the Indian Evidence Act, respectively.

Dullu described these laws as modern in their approach where technology and efficiency will play a big role.

"The Chief Secretary asked to create the necessary environment and structural framework for the law enforcement agencies to make the implementation of these new laws smooth and successful," an official statement said.

"He stressed on preparing necessary frameworks like issuing notifications and statutory orders in advance. He also asked for development of remaining patches/software components by NIC without any delay," the statement said.

The Chief Secretary also took stock of capacity building in various organizations like police, prisons and prosecution and training of concerned staff.

He said the collective objective should be to implement these laws effectively in the UT.

Dullu also inquired about the sensitivity of police personnel deployed in local police stations.

He described the role of Investigating Officers (IOs) as important as they are the primary stakeholders in implementing these laws on the ground.
