Welcome to Prayagraj." That's a sign you may before long find in one of India's best-known urban areas, Allahabad, after the Uttar Pradesh Cabinet gave the name change an approval Tuesday.
This comes half a month after a notorious UP railroad station, the Mughalsarai rail line station, was renamed after the RSS ideologue Deen Dayal Upadhyaya.
For Allahabad's situation, the change isn't legitimate at this time.
States start the strategy to rename a city. The proposition is then sent to the Center, which - on the off chance that it esteems fit to do as such - endorses and advances it to the concerned state senator.
The state government at that point issues a paper notice renaming the city.
Allahabad got its name in 1575. The Mughal Emperor Akbar called it Illahabas, which means the residence God.
Before Akbar rechristened the city, it was known as Prayag. Some medieval writings, including Akbar's court student of history Abul Fazl, called it Piyag. The Rig Veda and a portion of the Puranas specify it, giving it a high religious incentive in India.
