Nyaya Sanhita Exhibition Opens in Bhubaneswar, Spotlights New Justice System
Bhubaneswar, March 7: The Odisha Police today inaugurated the Nyaya Sanhita Exhibition at IDCO Exhibition Ground, Bhubaneswar, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah formally opening the event.
The exhibition aims to raise public awareness about India’s newly reformed criminal justice system, which came into effect on July 1, 2024.
Crowds of students, intellectuals, auto‑rickshaw association members, and voluntary organisations visited the venue to explore interactive displays and digital panels explaining the justice process.
A special showcase titled “From Crime Scene to High Court” illustrates the journey of justice delivery under the new laws.
The exhibition highlights three landmark legislations: Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA).
Dedicated stalls demonstrate crime scene investigation methods, the 112 Emergency Response Support System, police station operations, forensic labs, prosecution processes, and the functioning of courts and prisons.
Broader initiatives such as police modernisation, women’s safety measures, anti‑Maoist operations by the Special Operations Group (SOG), and disaster response by ODRAF are also showcased.
The exhibition, open until March 10, 2026, underscores India’s shift from colonial‑era laws to a victim‑centric, technology‑driven justice system, encouraging citizen participation and awareness of modern investigative methods.
