CoMSO Calls on Centre to Exclude Meghalaya from Automatic UCC Rollout

The Coal Miners' State Organization (CoMSO) has formally requested that the central government exclude Meghalaya from the forthcoming automatic rollout of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC). In its statement, CoMSO highlighted the state’s unique legal framework and the potential impact on local customs and traditions. The organization argued that a blanket application of the UCC could undermine Meghalaya’s cultural autonomy and the rights of its diverse communities. CoMSO has called on policymakers to consider a more nuanced approach that respects the state’s distinct legal and social fabric.
