Jaipur, May 9 (IANS) Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma on Saturday announced a series of major initiatives aimed at strengthening the state’s legal and cyber security framework, including the establishment of AI-based cybercrime analysis systems, a dedicated cyber helpline call centre and Cyber Police Stations in every district by 2030.

Addressing a workshop for Public Prosecutors and Special Public Prosecutors organised by the Department of Law and Legal Affairs at Birla Auditorium in Jaipur, the Chief Minister said the state government was committed to ensuring accessible, transparent and speedy justice for every citizen through modern technology, institutional strengthening and legal reforms.

Highlighting the growing challenges posed by cybercrime, CM Sharma said Cyber Help Desks had already been established at all police stations across Rajasthan.

He further announced that the government would establish the Rajasthan Cyber Crime Control Centre to effectively prevent and curb cybercrimes, including incidents of “digital arrest”.

The proposed system, he said, would facilitate AI-based analysis of cybercrimes and strengthen cyber response mechanisms across the state.

The Chief Minister stated that Public Prosecutors form a crucial pillar of the justice delivery system and play an important role in upholding constitutional values.

He emphasised that continuous training and capacity-building were essential in view of evolving legal frameworks, cyber laws and changing judicial perspectives.

Referring to the implementation of the three new criminal laws introduced under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, CM Sharma described them as a historic initiative aimed at transforming India’s justice system into a more citizen-centric, efficient and justice-oriented framework rooted in Indian values.

He added that the new laws prioritised justice over punishment while promoting modernisation through Digital India and e-Governance initiatives.

The Chief Minister further informed that the state government had established 42 courts across Rajasthan and was continuously strengthening judicial infrastructure.

Legal aid had been extended to more than 27,000 individuals, while compensation amounting to Rs 85 crore had been provided to nearly 4,000 victims under the Rajasthan Victim Compensation Scheme, he said.

CM Sharma also noted that nearly 10,000 cyber awareness programmes had been organised across the state, benefiting more than 12 lakh citizens through cyber security awareness and sensitisation initiatives.

State Law and Legal Affairs Minister Jogaram Patel said the government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, was working with the objective of ensuring timely and effective justice for every section of society.

The workshop was attended by Advocate General Rajendra Prasad, Chief Secretary V. Srinivas, Director General of Police Rajiv Kumar Sharma, Principal Secretary of the Law Department Raghavendra Kachhwal, senior officials of the Department of Law and Legal Affairs, Public Prosecutors and advocates from across the state.
