MALKANGIRI : The inauguration of ‘Nyaya Sanjog’ at 30 centres in the State by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dipak Misra through video-conferencing at Cuttack on Sunday has come as a major relief for the people seeking legal help in the district.‘Nyaya Sanjog’ will work as a database of all activities relating to provisions of legal aid.
