The Maharashtra Cabinet has made a significant decision to rename eight Mumbai railway stations that have names dating back to the British colonial era. This move aims to embrace Indian culture and history.
Here are the names of the stations whose names have been changed:
Cotton Green- Kalachowki
Charni Road- Girgaon
Dockyard Road- Mazgaon
King Circle- Tirthakar Parshivnath
Curry Road- Lalbaug
Sandhurst Road- Dongri
Marine Lines- Mumbadevi
Moreover, Mumbai Central Station will be given the new name of Nana Jagannath Shankarsheth Station, pending approval from the Railways Ministry. This decision is expected to reflect the rich heritage of Maharashtra.
