'Nyay Yatra', organised by the New Delhi-based 'Forum for Fast Justice' to create awareness among common people about the judiciary, reached here today.
The 35-day Yatra, organised by the New Delhi-based Forum for Fast Justice Trust is being held to create awareness among the public about the judiciary and the need for reforms.
Founder chairman of the Trust, Bhagvanji Raiyani, leading the drive, said the Yatra was an attempt to sensitise the masses on the need of judicial reforms.
As part of the propaganda, pamphlets on judicial reforms were also distributed to the public.
He said two teams were participating in Yatra. While one team was going from Kashmir to Kerala another is going from Kutch to Kolkata.
Both the teams will together cover 22 states and 175 districts in 35 days covering 17,000 km to create awareness among general public.
The Yatras will culminate at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on March 4, followed by a two-day annual national convention in the national capital. The Yatra began on January 30 from Rajghat in New Delhi, he said.
Time-bound justice, permission for audio and video recording of all court proceedings to ensure transparency, Gram Nyayalaya in all villages, use of Information Technology tools for court/time management, increasing government budget allocation for judiciary by at least two per cent of GDP are among the demands of the trust, he said.
