The Aligarh Nagar Nigam, in a significant development, has approved a resolution to change the city’s name from ‘Aligarh’ to ‘Harigarh.’ This resolution, passed on Monday, marks a notable step towards the potential renaming of the city. BJP corporator Sanjay Pandit, who moved the proposal, stated that it would now be forwarded to the Uttar Pradesh government for consideration.
The idea of renaming Aligarh to ‘Harigarh’ is not new. In 2021, a similar resolution was passed by the District Panchayat, and it was subsequently submitted to the state government for further action. The recent resolution from the Aligarh Nagar Nigam signals renewed efforts to pursue this change.
The renaming proposal is expected to initiate discussions and deliberations, both among local authorities and the general public. The final decision will rest with the Uttar Pradesh government, and the outcome will be closely monitored by residents and observers alike.
