Legal awareness rally held to mark National Legal Services Day

The District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) organised an awareness rally and a meeting in Visakhapatnam on Monday to mark National Legal Services Day, as part of the Action Plan 2025-26 of the Andhra Pradesh State Legal Services Authority, Amaravati.

DLSA chairman and Principal District Judge G. Srinivas flagged off the rally at 9.30 a.m. from Nyaya Seva Sadan. At the meeting that followed, he said the Authority’s aim was to provide legal justice to the economically and socially disadvantaged, and that no one should be denied justice because of poverty. Legal aid clinics, panel advocates and para-legal volunteers would offer free services and advice across the district, he said, urging people to make use of them.

First Additional District Judge M. Venkata Ramana, DLSA Secretary R. Sanyasi Naidu, Visakhapatnam Bar Association president Nammi Sanyasi Rao, and A.P. Bar Council members Krishna Mohan and B.V.R. Murthy were among those present. Judicial officers, legal aid defence counsel, panel advocates, para-legal volunteers and court staff took part.
