Social Media Announcement

CM Dhami took to his social media platform on Friday, describing it as an important day for the people of the state. He expressed that, "उत्तराखण्ड की देवतुल्य जनता के समक्ष रखे गए संकल्प के अनुरूप समान नागरिक संहिता लागू करने की दिशा में आगे बढ़ते हुए आज देहरादून में UCC ड्राफ्ट तैयार करने के उद्देश्य से गठित कमेटी से मसौदा प्राप्त हुआ। आगामी विधानसभा सत्र में समान नागरिक संहिता का विधेयक पेश किया जाएगा और अतिशीघ्र कानून के रुप में लागू किया जाएगा। आदरणीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी के विजन "एक भारत-श्रेष्ठ भारत" को साकार करते हुए राज्य में सबको समान अधिकार प्रदान करने हेतु हम सदैव संकल्पित रहे हैं और आज हम UCC के माध्यम से इस संकल्प को सिद्धि की ओर ले जा रहे हैं। #UCCInUttarakhand"

("Moving forward in the direction of implementing the Uniform Civil Code as per the resolution placed before the godlike people of Uttarakhand, the draft was received today from the committee formed for the purpose of preparing the UCC draft in Dehradun.

UCC's Comprehensive Impact

The Uniform Civil Code aims to provide a legal framework for uniform laws governing marriage, divorce, land, property, and inheritance for all citizens, irrespective of their religious affiliations. Its passage will mark the fulfillment of a significant promise made by the BJP to the people of Uttarakhand in the lead-up to the 2022 Assembly polls.
