Agra: The Agra zila panchayat has decided to change the names of Fatehabad town and the Badshahi Bagh area of the town to Sindoorpuram and Brahmapuram, respectively.
A proposal on it was put forth by zila panchayat chairperson Manju Bhadoria and passed unanimously during a board meeting on Monday. It will now be sent to the state government for approval.
Bhadoria said the proposal advocated for the name changes as the names "symbolised slavery".
The town used to be called Samugarh in the past and was later changed to Fatehabad, the proposal said, suggesting that it be renamed as Sindoorpuram.
