"We solved 1,08,763 cases through Lok Adalat. In 66% of the cases, we could get them to conviction. Conviction-based polling system is being implemented across the state from June this year. Under this system, each Unit Officer CP/ SP supervises the five most important cases (priority for women cases) under their purview. We have set up a system to review the progress of the case trial in the court as per the daily schedule. By this system, the trial time of the case can be reduced and the criminals can be punished within a short period of time," the DGP said.

The DGP concluded that the main objective of all this continuous work is to ensure that no single criminal Should escape. (ANI)
