Naharlagun: Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Sunday said the inauguration of the Gauhati High Court, Itanagar Permanent Bench building marks a major milestone in strengthening Arunachal Pradesh’s justice delivery system, promising faster and more efficient access to justice for the people.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Khandu recalled that until 2016, the state had only two courts.
“Now we have 33 functional district and session courts, and the Cabinet recently approved eight more. Additionally, 463 new posts have been created at the district level,” he said. Describing the occasion as ‘historic’, the chief minister credited the judges of the Gauhati High Court for their efforts in completing the building.
He noted that the foundation stone was laid on August 12, 2018, but the project faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To ensure progress, a special monitoring committee was formed.
The state government invested Rs 250 crore in the state-of-the-art facility.
“We will continue to strengthen the justice delivery system in the state,” Khandu affirmed, highlighting judicial reforms brought in under the BJP-led NDA government.
