Uttarakhand will likely adopt the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) next week, making it the first Indian state to do so, India Today reported. Drafted by a committee headed by Justice (retired) Ranjana Desai, the UCC for Uttarakhand will reportedly be submitted to Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami in the coming days. A special session of the Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly is also planned for the week following Diwali, where the UCC law is expected to be adopted, giving it legal standing.
