Digital Desk: Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma said that the Uniform Civil Code(UCC) would be implemented in Assam following the implementation across the country.
After the implementation of UCC in Uttarakhand, CM Sarma said that the northern Indian state had done it and it would now be implemented in the entire country and then in Assam too.
