Changing names

Change is in the air. After Mughal Sarai railway station was renamed after Deen Dayal Upadhyay, a junior minister of state sent a letter to Railway Minister Piyush Goyal suggesting that the name of Jawai Bandh station in Rajasthan be changed to Sumerpur. Meanwhile, name changing hasn’t been limited to railway stations alone. It has now extended to publications as well. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting is mulling change of names of some of its publications that are used by civil services aspirants for competitive exams. Sources say the idea for revamping the publications was floated when Smriti Irani was the I&B minister.
