Kupwara : Kupwara Police, in collaboration with My New School Drugmulla on friday organised an awareness programme on new criminal laws at My New School, Drugmulla Kupwara.

The programme was attended by Additional SP Kupwara, Javed Ahmad, who was the chief guest, accompanied by Raghav Sharma (DySP Prob.), Kaiser Ahmad (Prosecuting Officer), SHO Police post Drugmulla bilal ahmad, Principal My New School Fazil Mir, Vice Principal, Miss Aasiya and other faculty members of the school.

The officials introduced the students to major changes in the legal framework, particularly the replacement of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) with the newly enacted Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Additionally, insights were shared about two other important legislations – the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and the Bharatiya Sakshi Adhiniyam.
