Maharashtra council passes resolution to rename seven local train stations

The Maharashtra legislative council unanimously passed a resolution to rename seven Mumbai local train stations. The Mahayuti government, led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar, will seek Union government approval for the new names. The resolution, proposed by Minister Chandrakant Patil, aims to replace colonial-era English names. Currey Road will become Lalbaug, Sandhurst Road as Dongri, Marine Lines as Mumbadevi, Charni Road as Girgaon, Cotton Green as Kalachowki, Dockyard Road as Mazgaon, and King's Circle as Tirthankar Parswanath.
