The UCC Rules Committee Chairman said that the UCC Code was passed by the state assembly eight months ago, and after that a rules making committee was formed. The first meeting of this committee was held in the last week of February, and now the UCC Rules have been approved in the final meeting.
Singh told ANI that the UCC Code has been made in public interest. He said that without visiting the government office, people can register etc. through the UCC web portal or app.
Earlier in September, a review meeting regarding the making of rules of the Uttarakhand UCC was held at Bijapur Guest House under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary Radha Raturi and member of the UCC Committee Shatrughan Singh.
In the meeting, various aspects related to making rules of Uttarakhand UCC were discussed in detail with the cooperation and coordination of the Home, Police, Health, Excise, Minority, Culture, Food and Civil Supplies, Energy, Planning, and Finance Departments, said an official press release.
Radha Raturi and Shatrughan Singh have directed all departments to cooperate and coordinate in finalising the rules to be made for the implementation of UCC, said the release.
The BJP government introduced the UCC Bill during a special session of the Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly on February 6 this year and it was passed with a comfortable majority a day later, on February 7.
