Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami announced that the draft of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) will be submitted to the state government on Friday. A bill on the code will be introduced in the assembly session starting February 5 for its implementation in Uttarakhand. The committee, headed by former Supreme Court judge Ranjana Prakash Desai, was formed in 2022 by the Dhami government specifically to prepare the UCC draft for Uttarakhand. The BJP government aims to fulfill its promise of implementing the UCC in the state, making it the first state to have one.
