NEW DELHI: One year after the rollout of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Uttarakhand, the state government says concerns over privacy violations have been effectively addressed, with more than five lakh applications processed and not a single complaint reported.Officials said the absence of privacy-related grievances reflects the strength of the digital security framework built into the UCC system. Nearly 100 percent of applications are now being submitted and processed through the UCC portal, making the process completely faceless and eliminating the need for applicants to visit government offices or interact with officials in person.According to the government, robust safeguards ensure that citizens’ personal data remains confidential. Once an application is approved by a competent authority, officials can no longer access the applicant’s private information. The data can only be viewed by the applicant through a verification process, significantly reducing the risk of misuse or identity disclosure.Over the past year, residents have used the UCC platform for a range of services, including marriage and divorce registration, registration of wills, live-in relationship registration and termination of live-in relationships. Officials said certificates are now being issued in an average of five days, saving time and simplifying compliance.Chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said the implementation of the UCC had answered critics who had raised doubts about privacy and feasibility. “Some people initially tried to create a negative atmosphere around the Uniform Civil Code. Over the past year, its implementation has proved that citizens’ privacy has been fully protected,” he said.Dhami added that the smooth functioning of the UCC across the state reflected good governance and growing public confidence in the digital system underpinning the law.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosPolice Arrest MZ Wiztown Owner Abhay Kumar Over Noida Techie Yuvraj Mehta’s DeathOwaisi Defends Hijab-Clad PM Dream, Says Constitution Allows It77th Republic Day Parade to Witness Debut of DRDO’s Hypersonic Anti-Ship MissilePM Modi Endorses Nitin Nabin As New BJP Chief; 200% Trump Tariff On French Champagne?One Year Of Trump 2.0: How India-US Ties Went From Strategic Ties To Strategic Stress In 12 MonthsInside Jaish’s Kargil-Style Terror Bunker In J&K Where Maggi, Rice, Gas And Grenades Were StockedEU Puts India At Core Of Historic Trade Reset At Davos, Ursula Leyen Terms It ‘Mother Of All Deals’PM Modi Says Parties Shielding Illegal Immigrants Must Be Exposed, Calls It a National ThreatFrom Karyakarta To Party President: Nitin Nabin Becomes BJP’s Youngest-Ever ChiefYunus Government Takes Chinese Envoy Near Teesta, Rekindling Fears Over India’s Chicken’s Neck123PhotostoriesHow to make Punjabi Lobia Masala for dinner at home‘Jana Nayagan’: Everything to know about trailer, posters, cast and more of Thalapathy Vijay’s starrer amid CBFC delayTop 10 countries with the highest government debtFrom Nimona to Samosa: 9 delicious local dishes made with Green Peas5 reasons you could be on the next layoff list of your companyBaby names as beautiful as a melody‘Sheila Ki Jawani’, ‘Munni Badnaam Hui’, ‘Baby Doll’: Bollywood item songs that broke the internet with their zany lyricsRanbir Kapoor’s ‘Badtameez Dil’ to Nora Fatehi’s ‘Dilbar’: Iconic dance steps from Bollywood songs everyone still tries to copyFrom Mrunal Thakur’s ‘Do Deewane Sehar Mein’ to Preity Zinta’s ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’: Meet Bollywood’s queens who won hearts with geeky looksFrom Smriti Irani to Amar Upadhyay: How much the Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi star cast earns per episode123Hot PicksSilver price todayBudget 2026Karnataka DGP ScandalGold price predictionNitin NabinPublic holidays January 2026Bank Holidays JanuaryTop TrendingMatthew StaffordDraymond GreenOskar Sundqvist InjuryAndrew CallaghanAtlanta Braves RumorsRoger FedererKlay ThomponJohn Harbaughs WifeBengaluru WeatherDC Robert Saleh

File photo: X/CISF NEW DELHI: The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), which currently guards over 70 key airports and 13 seaports, has been mandated by the govt to act as the nodal or regulatory authority for all matters related to port security.The govt on Nov 18 designated CISF as the ‘recognised security organisation’ (RSO) for port security under the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPFSC). The mandate, which aligns with the govt’s vision of port-led growth as it focuses on a ‘blue economy’ as a key driver of economic expansion, followed the recommendation of a joint committee of CISF and DG, Shipping, constituted in Sept 2024 to study port security, conduct gap analysis and suggest remedial measures.As the RSO for ports, CISF said it will carry out a fresh assessment of security systems, prepare standardised security plans compliant with ISPFSC and carry out core security functions at all seaports engaged in export and import (EXIM) operations across the country.There are around 77 EXIM ports in the country, including 12 major and around 65 non-major ports. Also, there are around 200 minor ports where no cargo is handled as of now. However as and when these ports become EXIM ports, CISF will regulate their security as well. “For all things related to port security, the CISF will be the nodal or regulatory authority. We will work in three domains — providing consultancy for the establishment of security systems and gadgets, deploying hybrid security manpower and training all stakeholders in the sector,” said a senior CISF officer.“The initiative aims to resolve longstanding gaps arising from non-standardised security arrangements at non-major ports and ensure oversight by a domain expert security agency across all such facilities,” added CISF DIG(Int) Ajay Dahiya.A hybrid security model, improved screening systems and dedicated training institutions and courses for port-security personnel are also being introduced, officials said.The core security functions to be handled by CISF include access control, CCTV surveillance, perimeter security, seafront patrolling, quick reaction teams and the integrated operations centre. Non-core duties such as traffic management, container terminals and ancillary tasks may be handled by state police, state industrial security forces or private security agencies. However, these personnel too will be trained by a team of CISF experts to ensure professional and standardised port security services.CISF has prepared different training modules, focused on basic port security, specialised security and audit.Till now, seaport security was being dealt with by the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) under the Directorate General of Shipping, and there was a requirement for a professional agency in this area, a CISF officer said.The officer disclosed that the idea to have a professional and sovereign RSO, had emerged from various top-level security meetings chaired by the prime minister and the home minister over the last few years, where the vulnerability and security gaps in the 254 big and small seaports of the country were underlined.About the AuthorBharti JainBharti Jain is senior editor with The Times of India, New Delhi.
