Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath has ordered the completion of police training for new criminal laws by March 2025 and emphasized public awareness. He highlighted the importance of forensics and the prompt acquisition of necessary equipment. The efforts aim to ensure effective law enforcement during Maha Kumbh 2025.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has set a March 2025 deadline for the completion of police training in new criminal laws, following their introduction in July 2024. The move aims to bolster law enforcement efficiency across the state.

Adityanath emphasized the swift procurement of vital equipment for enforcement and underscored the necessity of publicizing the new laws' benefits to ensure they are well-understood.
