Habung in a communique today informed that Lok Adalats were an alternative dispute resolution mechanism where parties are encouraged to amicably settle cases outside the formal court system.
He said, there were many victims across the state who do not receive any benefits under the Arunachal Pradesh Victim Compensation Act 2011 due to lack of awareness about the act.
