Chhattisgarh Enacts Freedom of Religion Act

The Chhattisgarh Freedom of Religion Act has been enacted to provide a framework for individuals seeking to change their religion. The law is intended to prevent forced conversions and ensure that any change of religion is made voluntarily. The state government has taken this step to maintain communal harmony and protect the rights of its citizens. The new law will have significant implications for the state's population, particularly for those belonging to minority communities.
