Sikkim Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang launched ‘Nari Adalat’ today on the occasion of the first Amma Samman Diwas at Rongpo. ‘Nari Adalat’ is a community-based forum run by women to provide accessible and informal justice, especially in rural and semi-urban areas of Sikkim.

The idea behind ‘Nari Adalat’ is to empower women to address disputes and social issues that directly affect them, without having to depend entirely on the formal court system. Akashvani Correspondent reports that the primary aim of ‘Nari Adalat’ is to offer a supportive, non-intimidating environment where conflicts can be resolved locally. It focuses on minor disputes such as family disagreements, non-severe domestic violence cases, marital issues, among others. Unlike regular courts, which involve formal legal procedures, official judges, and lengthy processes, ‘Nari Adalat’ works in a flexible and dialogue-based manner.
