The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) will be implemented in Uttarakhand from January 27, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami announced on Saturday.
“All necessary preparations have been completed to implement UCC, which includes approval of the rules of the Act and training of the concerned officials,” Dhami said in a statement.
The UCC will bring uniformity in the society and ensure equal rights and responsibilities for all citizens, he said. “The UCC is just an offering made by our state in the great yagya by the Prime Minister to make the country a developed, harmonious and self-reliant,” the CM said.
Under the UCC, an attempt has been made to bring uniformity in all the laws related to personal civil matters that discriminate on the basis of caste, religion, region and gender, he said.
