The Assam government has decided to change the names of places that do not reflect the State’s culture, said Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
Mr. Sarma, on Wednesday, tweeted that the government would soon launch a portal to invite suggestions on change of names of urban and rural areas that were “derogatory to our civilisation, culture and derogatory to any caste or community”.
He said the name of a city, town or village should represent its culture, tradition and civilisation.
