What does India’s largest-ever decriminalisation push actually look like — at 30,000 feet, and at street level? Nathishia Rebecca Chandy, SIDDHARTH JHA, and Ankeetaa Mahesshwari from Legal team at Pahlé India Foundation (PIF) tackle the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2026 from two angles in two publications this week: 🔭 The wide lens — in The Pioneer: 784 provisions, 79 Central Acts, 23 ministries. 432 criminal offences reclassified as civil. A first read on what’s bold, what’s inconsistent, and what’s still missing a guiding framework — https://lnkd.in/gP4fc-iU 🔍 The close-up — in THE WEEK: zooming into the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and the CMVR Amendment 2026. Where “ease of doing business” meets the harder question of road safety in a country that lost 1.72 lakh lives to road accidents in 2023 — https://lnkd.in/gaqdTCH3 ⚙️ With a grounded policy lens — the focus on the Motor Vehicles Act is shaped by PIF’s ongoing work with the Arunachal Pradesh Transport Department, bringing on-ground administrative realities into the decriminalisation debate. They’re built to be read together. #JanVishwas #Decriminalisation #Transport #Governance #MotorVehiclesAct
