Let us inform that on February 15, the Central Government informed the High Court that it had already approved the renaming of Osmanabad to “Dharashiv”, while the process of renaming Aurangabad to “Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar” is still underway. However, on Monday, the Centre said that both the names have been approved. On this, the court has accepted the petition for hearing against the name change.
Advocate Pradnya Talekar, appearing for a group of petitioners, said that the government is already in the process of taking more steps to change the names of revenue boards, railway stations, municipal corporations etc. In this way illegality has been promoted. The petitioners have sought status quo or a stay on the process.
