New law on hit-and-run irrational
The NGO Reformers criticize the newly-enacted law related to hit-and-run incidents, calling it draconian and irrational. The law, called Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, introduces stringent penalties for hit-and-run incidents, including imprisonment for up to 10 years and a fine of Rs 7 lakh. The NGO demands the government to reconsider the decision.
