To create women of Chhattisgarh aware of their constitutional rights and related laws, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel will flag off the ‘Mukhyamantri Mahtari Nyay Rath Yatra’ on July 28 from Raipur to mark the ‘Hareli’ festival.
The Chhattisgarh State Commission for Women has taken the initiative.
The "rath" (chariot) will cover all the districts. Through short films, messages and brochures, it will make people especially women aware about various legal provisions and their constitutional rights, an official communication said on Wednesday.
Commission Chairperson Dr Kiranmayee Nayak said each vehicle will have two advocates. They will hear the grievances of women, guide them and provide advice.
Women can also submit their applications for resolution of their grievances to the Women's Commission.
She said there will be a large LED screen, on which nationally-awarded educational short films in Chhattisgarhi and Hindi will be shown.
She said every woman, educated or uneducated, must be aware of the laws and rules, thus spreading legal awareness.
