In its first cabinet meeting, the Assam government, under Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, announced plans to table the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) bill on May 26 during the upcoming Assam Legislative Assembly session. The UCC aims to standardize marriage age, abolish polygamy, ensure inheritance rights for women, and regulate live-in relationships, while respecting religious practices. Alongside this, the government is implementing austerity measures due to the global energy crisis, including a 20% reduction in fuel consumption and a six-month freeze on new vehicle purchases for government officials. Foreign travel for ministers and employees is also restricted, with any official trips requiring prior approval from the Chief Minister's Office. The government aims to create 200,000 jobs within five years, with a report expected in three months. These measures reflect the government's commitment to fiscal responsibility while pursuing its legislative agenda.
