Nyaya Setu Launches on WhatsApp for Legal Guidance
The Indian government has brought Nyaya Setu, a digital legal assistance platform, to WhatsApp.
This means people can now get legal advice and information just by messaging a number on WhatsApp.
The service is designed to make it easier for everyone, especially those who find it hard to visit legal offices or understand legal terms.
Users can access it by messaging 7217711814 on WhatsApp.
The chatbot guides users through the process, but there was a small issue with mobile number verification during testing.
Still, people can get help without completing this step.
The service is available on all devices and aims to make legal help more accessible to millions of Indians.
