Bengal Forms High-Level Committee To Review Draft Uniform Civil Code Bill

The West Bengal government has established a high-level committee to scrutinize the draft Uniform Civil Code (UCC) bill, highlighting the extensive implications and complexity of the proposed legislation. This move comes as other states like Uttarakhand, Gujarat, and Assam have already implemented the UCC, which aims to unify personal laws across various communities under a single code. The formation of this committee signifies Bengal's proactive approach to addressing the potential social and legal ramifications of such a significant reform.
