New Delhi, February 7

The Uttarakhand Assembly on Wednesday passed the Uniform Civil Code Bill.

Once the bill gets the governor’s nod, the BJP-ruled Uttarakhand will become the first state in India to enact a uniform civil code (UCC) law.

Earlier, the expert committee constituted to examine the issue presented its report to the state government.

The draft law based on the panel’s proposals was finalised, approved by the state Cabinet and tabled in the special Assembly session.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
