He said the new laws were aimed at protecting citizens’ “honour, property and body”, adding that their basic mantra was “justice, not punishment”. The new criminal justice framework also uses modern technologies and scientific tools, including electronic evidence, online summons, online hearings, video conferencing and forensic science.
Speaking at a Gaupalak Sammelan, Shah said Madhya Pradesh will receive a major push under White Revolution 2.0, with the state government targeting an increase in daily milk procurement from 12 lakh kg to 52 lakh kg.Shah said 75,000 new cooperative dairies would be established across the country and 46,000 existing dairies strengthened under White Revolution 2.0, with Madhya Pradesh expected to benefit significantly. He said the cooperative model would help livestock rearers get better returns and benefit from milk processing and value addition.

Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: At the ‘Gopalak Sammelan’ under the ‘Sahakar Se Samriddhi’ programme, Union Home Minister Amit Shah says, “We have to build infrastructure; what will we do by just collecting milk? Milk should be processed into ice cream, butter, ghee, cheese and mawa. There should be a proper processing system. Today, the foundation stone will be laid in Ujjain for a plant built at a cost of Rs 255 crore, with a capacity to process 3 lakh litres of milk every day. A plant costing Rs 17 crore has been set up for the Bhopal Milk Union to process 40 lakh litres of milk...”
