Madhya Pradesh CM Applauds PM Modi’s Bold Legal Reforms Initiative

Speaking on Saturday, CM Mohan Yadav credited PM Modi for modernising India’s courts. The introduction of three fresh criminal codes, including the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, shows a bold step away from outdated colonial rules.

Highlighting Madhya Pradesh’s achievements, Yadav said the state is ahead in putting BNS into action.

Careful oversight and following central instructions have made the rollout efficient and smooth.

In Indore, the Chief Minister spoke to a gathering of lawyers at an event organised by the Vishva Hindu Parishad’s (VHP) legal cell, the legal wing of the RSS. He recalled recent judicial developments, saying reforms began when the Supreme Court removed the blindfold from the statue of justice.

Justice Must Be Served with Open Eyes

Recalling recent developments in the judiciary, Yadav said the Supreme Court removed the blindfold from the statue of justice. He said the reforms began when the idea of blindfolded justice did not suit Indian democracy. He stressed that ‘justice should be delivered with open eyes’.

Turning to law and order in Madhya Pradesh, the CM assured that his government is taking a tough stand against offenders.

“No person, no matter how powerful, will be spared. Our government ensures equal punishment for all criminals,” he said, citing recent action against a family allegedly involved in multiple unlawful activities.

Rules on Loudspeakers and Public Conduct

The Chief Minister drew attention to initiatives addressing noise control and civic discipline. He stated that the state has outlawed meat sales in open markets and implemented rigorous norms for loudspeaker use in both religious and public venues.

“Citizens are free to follow their faith, but nobody is above the law. Within six months, more than 60,000 loudspeakers installed illegally have been removed,” he said.

As per state regulations, religious institutions can use only two loudspeakers, and that too within the prescribed noise levels.

• 75 decibels in industrial zones during the day and 70 at night.
• 65 decibels in commercial areas during the day and 55 at night.
• 55 decibels in residential areas during the day and 45 at night.

In silence zones, the permissible limit is lower: 50 decibels during the day and 40 at night.
