Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated that Assam is among the leading states in rolling out the recently introduced criminal legislation.
Assam has been identified as one of the best-performing states in the nation for the implementation of the newly enacted criminal statutes, according to Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. The CM highlighted the state's swift administrative actions and coordination among law‑enforcement agencies as key factors behind the progress.
The statement was made during a press briefing in Dispur, where Sarma praised the efforts of police officials, judicial officers and district administrations for adhering to the timelines set by the central government. He also urged other states to emulate Assam's approach to ensure uniform application of the laws across the country.
While the central government has rolled out the new criminal code and related amendments in recent months, the pace of adoption varies widely among states. Assam's ranking as a top performer underscores its commitment to legal reform and public safety, officials said.
No specific quantitative data on the implementation rate was disclosed, but the CM reiterated that the state will continue to monitor compliance and address any gaps promptly.
