Delhi Notifies Community Service Guidelines for Minor Offences

The Delhi government has made rules about community service for people who commit small crimes.

Courts can now make people do things like clean parks or libraries as a punishment.

This could be for things like trying to commit suicide or stealing a small amount of money.

The amount of time spent doing community service varies depending on the offense, with the new codes formalizing the practice.

Before these new rules, judges sometimes used community service, but now it's more official.
