The state-of-the-art CFSL will help the law enforcement agencies in catching high-tech criminals through quality and clinching forensic evidence, Singh said at the occasion.
He also said cyber crime was a big challenge to the modern society and appealed to the forensic fraternity to join hands with government in handling sophisticated crimes by providing forensic solutions in a time-bound manner.
Quality forensic science practice would act as a medium in building a crime-free society and would play an important role in socio-economic development of the country, Singh said.
The new CFSL, first in the north-eastern region, will be one of the best state-of-the-art laboratories in the country, CFSL officials said.
