Uttarakhand marked its 25th anniversary in 2025 with significant political and administrative developments. The BJP government, led by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, implemented the Uniform Civil Code, outlawing certain religious practices and mandating live-in relationship registration. The party also secured a strong victory in civic body elections. New land laws were enacted, restricting non-resident land purchases in hill districts and capping residential land acquisition. These reforms were highlighted as key achievements amidst ongoing governance challenges and opposition criticism.
