Govt-appointed panel framing rules for implementation of UCC in U'khand

Dehradun: The implementation of the Uniform Civil Code in Uttarakhand will take some more time as a state government-appointed panel, headed by former chief secretary Shatrughna Singh, is working on framing its rules.

The Uniform Civil Code bill was passed by the state assembly and also received the presidential assent recently after which it has become a



law.

A gazette notification has been issued on the presidential assent to the bill and its becoming an act but another notification will have to be issued before its actual implementation after the panel frames the rules related to putting it into effect, said Shailesh Bagauli, Secretary to Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami.
