BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has asked hotel owners in Ujjain, the abode of Lord Mahakal, to use Hindi signboards instead of English, which he said will strengthen the local language. Chouhan made this appeal at a programme to mark the 'Gaurav Diwas' of Ujjain, an ancient city, on Saturday evening on the occasion of Gudhi Padwa- the Hindu new year.
"We will have to make a new resolution. I request that the names of hotels in Ujjain, which are written in English, should be written in Hindi. Our academic development will happen only with the growth of our language," Chouhan said.
