On Thursday the Uttarakhand High Court refused to grant relief to a PIL seeking stay of demolition of illegal madarsa and mosque in Haldwani

It is worth noting that this is not the first time that Haldwani has been engulfed in protests and violence over government action against illegal encroachments. In January last year, a massive protest had erupted in Haldwani over the issue of the removal of encroachment from the land owned by the Indian Railways.

Uttarakhand government has put high alert in the state as a precaution after the violence.

The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill was passed on Wednesday n the Uttarakhand assembly with a comfortable majority during a special session.

The Times recently published an article claiming the introduction of UCC is an attempt at 'overturning Sharia law in Muslim crackdown'

AIMPLB opposed UCC bill introduced in Uttarakhand Assembly, stating that Muslims are governed by the Shariat Law.

The Bill says that the relationship between a man and a woman can be termed legitimate or illegitimate based on social norms, but a child is never 'illegitimate'.

Referring to this, CM Dhami posted on X, "With the aim of giving equal rights to the citizens of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand, a Uniform Civil Code bill will be introduced in the Assembly today. It is a moment of pride for all the people of the state that we will be known as the first state in the country to move towards implementing UCC".
