Gogoi demands central package

Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi pins hopes a special package from the Centre to expedite justice delivery system in the state

In his address at the Conference of Chief Ministers and Chief Justices of High Courts on Sunday in Delhi, he said the first phase of construction of the National Law University and Judicial Academy in the state Assam is ending at a cost of Rs 100 crore.

Gogoi further stressed infusion of managerial skills in the judicial system as endorsed by the 13th Finance Commission. According to him, the Centre must provide adequate funds for this purpose instead of leaving it entirely to the state governments. He said the special package is required for the entire north eastern region for overall development of justice delivery system.
