“Additionally, we must keep as many services online as possible while considering the convenience of the general public,” Dhami added. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami stated, “In view of the convenience of the general public, a portal and mobile app have been developed for the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code. This will provide all facilities related to registration, appeals, and more through online means.” A nine-member sub-committee headed by former chief secretary Shatrughna Singh was constituted soon after the passage of legislation on the UCC in the state assembly in February this year to frame the rules for its implementation. The UCC Act has already been given presidential assent. Chairman of the UCC Rules and Implementation Committee Shatrughan Singh said, “Three sub-committees were formed to frame the rules for its implementation, which are almost on the completion stage.” The sub-committee constituted to prepare the outline of the rules held 43 meetings to draft the same, he said. Chairman Singh stated, “The implementation of the Uniform Civil Code will bring the state of Uttarakhand closer to establishing uniform personal laws for all citizens, regardless of their religion or caste, concerning marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption. However, the state’s tribal communities have been excluded from this law.”
