Forensic teams must be put in 3 categories: Amit Shah

New Delhi: Union home minister Amit Shah on Tuesday directed the Uttarakhand government that forensic visits and teams should be divided into three categories: serious, normal and very normal. Shah said this as he chaired a review meeting on the implementation of three new criminal laws in Uttarakhand in the presence of CM Pushkar Singh Dhami.

The meeting reviewed the implementation and current status of various new provisions related to police, jails, courts, prosecution and forensics in Uttarakhand. Shah stressed on giving priority to 100% implementation of the new laws in all police stations and jails in areas where more FIRs are registered. Emphasising on the use of technology, the home minister said that more than one forensic mobile van should be available in every district of the state, according to an official statement.

Shah directed that there should be regular and continuous monitoring of how many of the total 'Zero FIRs' registered have been brought to justice and how many FIRs have been transferred to the states. He said that the chief minister of Uttarakhand should review the progress of implementation of the three new laws every 15 days and the chief secretary and DGP once a week with the officials of all the departments concerned.
