The Uttarakhand High Court permitted to continue the panchayat elections after going through the reservation roster. It lifted the earlier stay order of June 23, bringing major relief to the state government.
The Uttarakhand government is set to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) starting today. This new law will replace personal laws based on religion with a common set of rules for all citizens. It will govern matters like marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption, aiming to ensure equality and justice. While some see it as a step toward fairness, others believe it could affect cultural and religious practices.
