The Union Home Ministry has given its consent to change the names – a Municipal Council in Gorakhpur and a village in Deoria—both in eastern UP, following recommendations from the state government.
The ‘no-objection’ certificates were issued by the Union Home ministry for changing the name of ‘Mundera Baazar’ municipal council in Gorakhpur district to ‘Chauri-Chaura’ and that of ‘Telia Afghan’ village in Deoria district to ‘Telia Shukla’.
Mundera Bazar Municipal Council will now become Chauri-Chaura Municipal Council to commemorate 100-years of the Chauri-Chaura incident which had taken place on February 4, 1922 in Gorakhpur district.
Telia Afghan village is already popular as Telia Shukla village under Barhaj tehsil of the eastern UP district.
