Aizawl, June 23: The Mizoram government is gearing up to implement three new major criminal laws with a series of initiatives, including training sessions for police personnel, church leaders, students, and NGO functionaries.
The state is preparing for the enforcement of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), which are set to replace the colonial-era Indian Penal Code (IPC), Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), and the Indian Evidence Act on July 1.
To ensure a smooth transition, the government has formed five new committees at the Police Headquarters level to address legal issues, technology upgrades, training, digital investigation, and financial implications.
Additionally, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has assured Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma of humanitarian assistance for refugees in the state, particularly those who fled Myanmar after the military takeover on February 1, 2021.
The Mizoram Chief Minister, who has been in Delhi since Thursday, separately met Union Home Minister Shah, Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, and DoNER and Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia in the national capital and discussed various state-related issues including developmental schemes.

Home Minister Shah also told Chief Minister Lalduhoma that the Assam Rifles battalion set up would be relocated from central Aizawl to the proposed new headquarters at Zokhawsang, which is located around 15 km east of capital Aizawl.
After the military junta seized power in Myanmar on February 1, 2021, around 34,000 people including women, elderly and children, from the neighbouring country took shelter in 11 districts of Mizoram.
