“Visited Central Agency Section at Supreme Court Complex. These are tonnes of legal documents of various Ministries & Agencies. In line with PM Narendra Modi ji’s vision of Digital India we will weed out redundant files and digitise all records to ensure a paperless work culture,” the law minister tweeted.
