Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath suggests renaming Akbarpur, aligned with PM Modi's 'Panch Pran' and considering name changes for several districts.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath hints at renaming Akbarpur, following the 2019 Kumbh Mela's name change of Allahabad to Prayagraj. Adityanath's move aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Panch Pran' (five pledges) that include removing vestiges of slavery and respecting heritage. Numerous districts, including Aligarh, Azamgarh, Shahjahanpur, Ghaziabad, Firozabad, Farrukhabad, and Moradabad, are also being considered for name changes as part of this mission.
