The date to implement the three criminal codes that were passed by the Parliament in December 2023 will be notified before January 26, a senior government official said on Tuesday.
The official added that it will take nine months to a year for the three criminal laws to be implemented across the country, and a pilot project is all set to begin in Ahmedabad in the next two months. “Except some areas that have connectivity problem, in the next one year, 90% area will have the reach of the new laws,” the official said.
The official added that 3,000 master trainers will train the police personnel who will work in a pyramid set-up percolating to each district in the next few months. A task force has been constituted under the Bureau of Police Research and Development that will oversee the training. The National Crime Records Bureau will coordinate to integrate the other wings of the criminal justice system, including the Interoperable Criminal Justice System, the National Automated Fingerprint Identification System, the Adjournment Alert Module, the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and System, among others.
