Atal Tunnel
Why in News-The Prime Minister has inaugurated the Atal Tunnel in Himachal Pradesh’s Rohtang, which connects Solang Valley near Manali to Sissu in Lahaul and Spiti district.
◆The 9.02-km tunnel is the longest highway tunnel in the world above the height of 3,000 metres.
◆It cuts through a mountain west of the Rohtang pass and will shorten the distance between Solang Valley and Sissu by around 46 km and will take around 15 minutes to cover. Earlier, it would take nearly 4 hours to travel between the two points.
Significance:
All year Connectivity: The Atal tunnel is the first step towards all-year connectivity to Ladakh. The tunnel has the potential to link Ladakh to Manali and Chandigarh throughout the year, as it would bypass Rohtang Pass, which is snowed in through the winter months.
Strategic: The tunnel provides a strategic advantage to the country's armed forces by providing year-long connectivity to border areas. It will save an entire day for troops and supplies as they move towards forward posts.
Avail Basic Facilities: The residents of Ladakh who had to face immense hardship to avail even basic facilities like healthcare and food supplies will now be able to reach Manali and connect with the rest of the country using this new tunnel. Essential commodities like petrol and vegetable supplies would also likely be available throughout the year.
Boon for Farmers: The drop in travel time will help many, especially farmers whose precious crops like peas and potatoes will no longer rot in trucks before reaching the market.
Boost to Tourism: Livelihoods in the tourism sector of the residents in Lahaul Valley and Ladakh would get a boost.

Criminal Justice System in India
◆The Criminal Justice System refers to the agencies of government charged with enforcing the law, adjudicating crime, and correcting criminal conduct.
◆The criminal justice system is essentially an instrument of social control:
◆Society considers some behaviours so dangerous and destructive that it either strictly controls their occurrence or outlaws them outright.
◆It is the job of the agencies of justice to prevent these behaviours by apprehending and punishing transgressors or deterring their future occurrence.
Retributive Justice:
●It is a system of criminal justice based on the punishment of offenders rather than on rehabilitation.
●It holds that when an offender breaks the law, justice requires that they must suffer in return. It also requires that the response to a crime must be proportional to the committed offence.
Reformative or Restorative Justice:
◆It is generally the most appreciated theory of punishment as it believes in the concept that the object is to extinct crime and not the criminal.
◆It believes that nobody is born as a criminal and it is only the consequences of those circumstances which were around the offender/criminal.
Objective of Criminal Justice System:
•To prevent the occurrence of crime.
•To punish the transgressors and the criminals.
•To rehabilitate the transgressors and the criminals.
•To compensate the victims as far as possible.
•To maintain law and order in society.
•To deter offenders from committing any criminal act in the future.
Challenges:
•Ineffectiveness: The system had to protect the rights of the innocents and punish the guilty, but nowadays it has become a tool of harassment for common people.
•Pendency of Cases: According to Economic Survey 2018-19, there are about 3.5 crore cases pending in the judicial system, especially in the district and subordinate courts, which leads to the actualisation of the maxim “Justice delayed is justice denied”.
•Huge Undertrials: India has one of the world’s largest number of undertrial prisoners.
•Inefficiency of Police: Police being the front liner in the criminal judiciary system, plays a vital role in the administration of justice.
•However, corruption, huge workload and accountability of police is a major hurdle in speedy and transparent delivery of justice.
Solutions:
●The reason for victimisation should be given a major thrust in reforming laws to identify the rights of crime victims.
●The construction of new offences and reworking of the existing classification of offences must be guided by the principles of criminal jurisprudence which have substantially altered in the past four decades.

Criminal Justice System in India
◆The Criminal Justice System refers to the agencies of government charged with enforcing the law, adjudicating crime, and correcting criminal conduct.
◆The criminal justice system is essentially an instrument of social control:
◆Society considers some behaviours so dangerous and destructive that it either strictly controls their occurrence or outlaws them outright.
◆It is the job of the agencies of justice to prevent these behaviours by apprehending and punishing transgressors or deterring their future occurrence.
Retributive Justice:
●It is a system of criminal justice based on the punishment of offenders rather than on rehabilitation.
●It holds that when an offender breaks the law, justice requires that they must suffer in return. It also requires that the response to a crime must be proportional to the committed offence.
Reformative or Restorative Justice:
◆It is generally the most appreciated theory of punishment as it believes in the concept that the object is to extinct crime and not the criminal.
◆It believes that nobody is born as a criminal and it is only the consequences of those circumstances which were around the offender/criminal.
Objective of Criminal Justice System:
•To prevent the occurrence of crime.
•To punish the transgressors and the criminals.
•To rehabilitate the transgressors and the criminals.
•To compensate the victims as far as possible.
•To maintain law and order in society.
•To deter offenders from committing any criminal act in the future.
Challenges:
•Ineffectiveness: The system had to protect the rights of the innocents and punish the guilty, but nowadays it has become a tool of harassment for common people.
•Pendency of Cases: According to Economic Survey 2018-19, there are about 3.5 crore cases pending in the judicial system, especially in the district and subordinate courts, which leads to the actualisation of the maxim “Justice delayed is justice denied”.
•Huge Undertrials: India has one of the world’s largest number of undertrial prisoners.
•Inefficiency of Police: Police being the front liner in the criminal judiciary system, plays a vital role in the administration of justice.
•However, corruption, huge workload and accountability of police is a major hurdle in speedy and transparent delivery of justice.
Solutions:
●The reason for victimisation should be given a major thrust in reforming laws to identify the rights of crime victims.
●The construction of new offences and reworking of the existing classification of offences must be guided by the principles of criminal jurisprudence which have substantially altered in the past four decades.
●The classification of offences must be done in a manner conducive to the management of crimes in the future.
●Guiding principles need to be developed after sufficient debate before criminalising an act as a crime.
●The discretion of judges in deciding the quantum and nature of sentence differently for crimes of the same nature should be based on principles of judicial precedent.
