Madhya Pradesh’s Hoshangabad and Babai will now be known as Narmadapuram and Makhan Nagar, chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan informed on Thursday. The name change of two cities in Madhya Pradesh will be effective on the occasion of Narmada Jayanti.
The chief minister informed that the state government had sent a proposal to the Centre for the name change of two cities which have been accepted. Babai is the birthplace of Dada Makhanlal Chaturvedi.
Shivraj Singh Chouhan expressed his gratitude towards the Centre and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for accepting the state’s request.
Salute to Dada Makhanlal, the eminent cinematographer and great personality of Indian poetry. Babai will now be known as ‘Makhan Nagar’. This is a humble attempt to honour his personality and creativity, Shivraj Singh said.
Along with this, the request for renaming Hoshangabad district as ‘Narmadapuram’ has also been approved by the Central Government. The change will be implemented from the auspicious occasion of Narmada Jayanti, he added.
होशंगाबाद को ‘नर्मदापुरम’ और बाबई को ‘माखन नगर’ करने का प्रस्ताव मध्यप्रदेश सरकार ने केंद्र सरकार को भेजा था, जिसे स्वीकृति मिल गई है।
जन आकांक्षाओं के अनुरूप इस सुखद निर्णय के लिए माननीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी और केंद्र सरकार के प्रति हृदय से आभार व्यक्त करता हूं।
