Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami declared the commencement of the Unified Civil Code (UCC) in Uttarakhand, marking a fulfillment of commitments made during the 2022 assembly elections.

Celebrating at the BJP state office on India's 76th Republic Day, Dhami acknowledged the pivotal role of citizens and leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in realizing this legislative stride.

The UCC, aligning with Modi's vision for a harmonious India free from discrimination based on religion, gender, caste, or community, is touted to originate from Uttarakhand akin to its significant rivers and spread nationwide. Among those present were state BJP president Mahendra Bhatt and Haridwar MP Trivendra Singh Rawat, spotlighting the act's national significance and the commitment to transformative governance.
