Uttarakhand is set to witness the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) on January 27, a day before Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s arrival in Dehradun. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami will also launch the UCC portal on the same day. Significantly, this will make Uttarakhand the first state to implement UCC, Chief Minister’s secretary Shailesh Bagoli said on Saturday.
The UCC portal will be launched at 12:30 pm on January 27 at the Secretariat. Its implementation was a major commitment of the BJP in the run-up to the 2022 Assembly polls which saw the party storm to power for a second consecutive term.
Earlier a workshop on the Uniform Civil Code was held at the Uttarakhand police headquarters, where representatives of various communities participated actively in the discussions by asking questions about the points related to their social rights after the code’s implementation.
The presenters and legal experts answered their questions making it clear that an attempt has been made to bring uniformity in the social rights of all religions and communities by establishing harmony through the code. This code will establish coordination and uniformity among people and different religions and communities, they said.
