Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that Ease of justice is equally important as ease of doing business and ease of living.

Addressing the inaugural session of the First All India District Legal Services Authorities, PM Modi said: "This time is a time of Azadi Ka Amrit Kaal. This is the time for those resolutions which will take the country to new heights in the next 25 years. Ease of justice is equally important like ease of doing business and the ease of living in this Amrit Yatra of the country."

Sharing the stage with Chief Justice NV Ramana at the event he added, "As important as access to the judicial system is for any society, justice delivery is equally important. The judicial infrastructure also has an important contribution to this. In the last eight years work has been done at a fast pace to strengthen the judicial infrastructure of the country."
