Assam Chief Minister Hemanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday said that his government will launch an online portal to seek people’s suggestions on change of names of cities, towns and villages which are “contrary” to India’s culture and “derogatory” to any caste or community.

He said that name of a city, town or village should “represent its culture, tradition and civilisation.”

Taking to Twitter, Himanta Biswa Sarma said: “THERE’S MUCH IN A NAME. Name of a city, town or village should represent its culture, tradition & civilisation. We shall launch a portal to invite suggestions on change of names across Assam which are contrary to our civilisation, culture & derogatory to any caste or community.”
