‘If the common people lose trust in the constitutional institutions and administrative system, such words have no meaning’

Lucknow : Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday said words like good governance and democracy become meaningless if people don’t get justice on time and justice isn’t accessible or affordable to them. Interacting with students of the first academic session 2023-2024 of the UP State Forensic Science Institute at his residence here, he also said it is important to understand the nature of crime today and then prepare accordingly.

“In society, words like good governance, democracy become meaningless if people don’t receive justice on time and justice isn’t accessible or affordable to people. If the common people lose trust in the constitutional institutions and administrative system, such words have no meaning,” Adityanath said.

He said that the state government has established the UP State Forensic Science Institute and MoUs are being signed with top forensic institutions to provide the best facilities. “It is important to understand the nature of crime today and what society demands, and thereby, we need to prepare ourselves accordingly,” he told the students.

“It’s a matter of joy that the first batch with five courses is starting today. Along with the Home Department, the people associated with the institute have to establish it as a world class institute,” he said. On this occasion, the chief minister also got introduced to all the teachers and students of the institute. He said that new age courses will be introduced and the selection of the best faculty will be ensured at the institute. “Most cases of cybercrime have been found in Jamtara of Jharkhand and Mewat near the national capital. Instead of channelling their energy in a positive direction, people in these areas have turned towards negativity, resulting in the adoption of new and harmful methods in this field,” he said.

While advocating for forensic technology, back in 2017 when his government came into power and the rate of cybercrime was on the rise, he said, “We emphasised the need to address this issue seriously at that time, and even today, we feel the shortage of experts in this field.” “We believe that there should not only be cyber help desks in every district and police station but also experts to support them.
