The approval follows a thorough scrutiny by the legislative Department, which had already reviewed the manual. On UCC, Dhami said that the government kept the promises that was made before the 2022 elections. He asserted that the dates of implementation will be announced soon.
"We had promised the people of Uttarakhand in 2022 that we would bring the UCC Bill as soon as our government was formed. We brought it. The draft committee drafted it, it was passed, the President approved it and it became an act. The process of training is also almost complete... After analysing everything, we will announce the dates soon," Dhami said.
The Bharatiya Janata Party government introduced the UCC Bill during a special session of the Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly on February 6 last year and it was passed with a comfortable majority a day later on February 7.
