KOHIMA, NOVEMBER 26 (MExN): As part of the annual Hornbill Festival, the Nagaland State Legal Services Authority (NSLSA), under the aegis of the National Legal Services Authority, will set up a 10-day Legal Services Stall at the Naga Heritage Village, Kisama. All services at the stall will be provided free of cost.
At the stall, visitors can access the latest legal literature and booklets on new laws, Acts and rules, which will be distributed to the public free of charge. Several important laws and Acts have been translated into local Naga dialects and Nagamese for those who prefer languages other than English.
Visitors may also seek legal advice or consultation on any matter, obtain legal assistance or representation, and clarify doubts on any legal topic without incurring any charges.
The stall will also provide information on Lok Adalats, mediation, victim compensation, the Legal Aid Defence Counsels system, early release of under-trial prisoners, and other legal services.
The services will be provided by Para Legal Volunteers (PLVs) and Panel Lawyers throughout the 10 days of the festival.
