Uttarakhand CM announces renaming of 11 places in 4 districts

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami announced the renaming of 17 places in four districts to honor cultural heritage and public sentiment, including changing Aurangzebpur to Shivaji Nagar and Miyanwala to Ramji Wala.
Additionally, Nawabi Road in Nainital has been renamed Atal Marg, while Sultanpur Patti in Udham Singh Nagar is now Kaushalya Puri.
The name Joshimath was officially changed to Jyotirmath in 2024, fulfilling a demand for its historical restoration, as mentioned by local residents and organizations during a ceremony in 2023.
Renaming places aligns with the ruling party's approach to changing names that reflect Hindu ideologies, similar to actions taken in other BJP-ruled states, as highlighted in the context of communal tensions over Mughal emperor names.
