Chief Justice of India Justice Altamas Kabir has underlined the need for improving the Juvenile Justice system. He said 42 per cent of India's population comprises the youth and if they are not taken care of properly, it may lead to a very chaotic situation in the next 15 years.

Justice Kabir said the youth must be weaned away from the menace of drug addiction. He sought the Centre and States' help in setting up mediation centers for institutionalising additional dispute redressal system.

On improving physical infrastructure of courts, he said attention must also be paid to doubling or increasing the number of judicial officers in subordinate courts.
