The Uttarakhand government is planning to call a special Assembly session in the second half of this month, during which it intends to pass one of two much-awaited Bills — either the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), or a proposal for 10% horizontal reservation for statehood agitators and their dependents — according to sources in the government.
A Secretary-level official confirmed to The Hindu that orders have been issued to start preparations for the special session, though its dates have still not been decided.
“We have been told that we should be ready for the session which can be called anytime after the Deepavali holiday. The Bills that may get tabled in the session are either UCC or reservation for Rajya Andolankaris (statehood agitators) and their dependents,” he said.
