UCC in Uttarakhand: In a remarkable development, Uttarakhand is set to become the first state to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) on Monday. The formal announcement of its implementation will be made by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami today around noon. The Chief Minister has emphasised that the UCC aims to bring uniformity across all personal civil laws that currently discriminate on the basis of caste, religion, gender, and other factors. The state government has finalised all necessary preparations for the UCC rollout. This includes the approval of the rules under the Act and extensive training for the officials involved in its implementation, he added.
