Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that his government will introduce legislation for the Uniform Civil Code during the state assembly session scheduled from May 21 to May 26. The Chief Minister confirmed his intention to table the bill and secure its passage, describing the measure as a central commitment of his administration.
The Uniform Civil Code is designed to create a single framework of civil laws for all citizens. If enacted, these regulations would govern personal matters including marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption regardless of an individual's religious background. This move represents a major legislative goal for the government and is expected to spark significant debate among lawmakers during the four-day proceedings.
