In a shining example of resilience and courage, 17-year-old Kafi, an acid attack survivor from Chandigarh, scored 95.6 per cent in the CBSE Class 12 examinations--and that’s not all. Kafi aspires to become an IAS officer in the near future. Kafi said, "I belong to Hisar, Haryana. In the recent results of the CBSE Boards, I scored 95.6% in Class 12. In Class 10, I had scored 95.2% as well. I am an acid attack victim, and my target is to become an IAS officer. Being a visually challenged girl, there were a lot of challenges, but my parents and teachers helped me a lot to conquer them... My main sources of study were audio and textbooks..."
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched three new criminal laws in India. These laws are the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, which came into effect on July 1. They replace the old British-era laws, including the Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure, and the Indian Evidence Act. Chandigarh has become the first place in India to fully implement these laws. Union Home Minister Amit Shah also confirmed that the laws have been successfully applied in Chandigarh. This marks a significant step in modernizing India`s legal system, aimed at providing better justice and security for citizens.
