Overview
- Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma posted on social media that Assam topped the Union Home Ministry’s National Crime and Law Enforcement Integrated (NCLI) dashboard for implementing the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
- The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita replaced the Indian Penal Code as one of three new criminal laws that also replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Indian Evidence Act.
- A state report cited by local media gives Assam Police an overall NCLI score of 95.75 and lists Haryana close behind at 95.27, with several other states and territories also ranked.
- Assam’s leadership is using the ranking to promote tougher policing, saying the state is focused on stronger enforcement, swifter action, and protecting citizens.
- Officials have not released the NCLI dashboard’s underlying parameters or comparative figures, which limits independent verification and leaves open questions about which metrics produced the top ranking and what it means for public safety on the ground.
