Campaign to Raise Public Awareness About Free Legal Aid and Legal Rights

Chandigarh

On the occasion of Haryana State Legal Services Day, Justice Sh. Harsimran Singh Sethi, Judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and Executive Chairman of the Haryana State Legal Services Authority, flagged off a specially designed awareness vehicle to educate the public about free legal aid, legal rights and various schemes and services offered by Legal Services Authorities.

The awareness vehicle, prepared by the Haryana State Legal Services Authority, has been equipped with informative flex boards and banners highlighting the availability of free legal aid, legal rights and various important initiatives undertaken by Legal Services Authorities. The initiative aims to bring legal awareness to people's doorsteps, particularly among weaker and disadvantaged sections of society, and inform them about their right to free and competent legal services.

As part of this special awareness campaign, the vehicle will visit various locations and villages across Panchkula from November 9 to 15. During the campaign, members of the public will be provided detailed information about free legal aid, legal awareness programmes and various public welfare schemes being implemented by Legal Services Authorities.

To make the campaign more effective and beneficial to the public, the vehicle has also been equipped with a public address system through which the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) song and documentaries on legal awareness will be played. This will further strengthen public outreach and awareness, helping people understand their legal rights and the importance of access to justice.

The initiative reflects the Authority's continued efforts to strengthen its outreach to the public and ensure greater access to legal services for all.
