Union Home Minister Amit Shah will chair a meeting with the Chief Ministers of the Northeastern states on Sunday (March 16, 2025) to review the implementation of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which replaced the Indian Penal Code (IPC), in the region, officials said.
Mr. Shah spent the Saturday (March 15, 2025) night in Mizoram where he attended a programme of the Assam Rifles.
He will start the day with a visit to Kokrajhar where is scheduled to address the 57th annual conference of the All Bodo Students Union (ABSU).
ABSU was a signatory to the historic Bodo Peace Accord, which was signed five years ago.
Mr. Shah will reach Guwahati in the afternoon to chair the meeting with the CMs of Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Nagaland and Sikkim. It was not immediately known who would represent Manipur in the meeting with the state, as it was under the President's rule following the resignation of CM N. Biren Singh last month.
A presentation by each state will be given at the meeting on the progress made in the implementation of the BNS so far, they said.
Mr. Shah will leave for New Delhi in the night, concluding his trip to the region.
