Goal of building prosperous, strong and self-reliant U’khand will be achieved by 2025: CM Dhami
Dehradun, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, who completes two years of his second term in office on Saturday, said the Uttarakhand government is fulfilling the promises made to the people of the state and marching rapidly ahead on the development path.
Highlighting the achievements of his government in the last two years, Dhami said Uttarakhand will soon become the first state in the country after independence to implement a uniform civil code, which secures the rights of men, women and children.
The legislation on the uniform civil code passed by the state assembly has already got the president’s assent and it will soon become a law after the committee formulating the rules for its implementation finishes its job, he told reporters here on the eve of his government completing two years in office.
The state government introduced the country’s strictest anti-copying law to protect the interests of hardworking students in competitive examinations and a stringent anti-conversion law making forced conversion a cognizable and non-bailable offence punishable with an imprisonment of 10 years, Dhami said.
