"Victory for every women": Uttarakhand CM Dhami on 30 pc reservation bill
Jan 10, 2023
Uttarakhand [India], January 10 : Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Tuesday said that the implementation of 30 per cent Reservation Bill for women's employment is a victory for every woman in the state.
Speaking to ANI, Dhami congratulated the women of the state and appreciated them for their hard work and sacrifice.
"When High Court put a stay on the bill, we decided to fight against the order and took the matter to the Supreme Court. This is a victory for every woman. I congratulate every mother and sister for this victory and appreciate them for their contribution, sacrifice and hard work," Dhami told ANI.
Earlier on November, the Supreme Court, in an interim order, stayed the Uttarakhand High Court order which had put on hold the government's decision to provide 30 per cent reservation to women domiciled in Uttarakhand in State civil services.
A bench of Justices S Abdul Nazeer and V Ramasubramanian also issued notice on the Uttarakhand government's plea which challenged the August 24 order of the High Court.
The Raj Bhavan later approved the bill, which has now been shaped into a law.
In the last assembly session, CM Dhami took an initiative to enact a law for reservation in jobs for women which were later approved by the House.
