Maha: Sena leaders oppose name change for Ulhasnagar

October 14, 2019 11:12

The Kalyan unit of the Shiv Sena will oppose any plan of the Maharashtra government to rename Ulhasnagar township in Thane district as "Sindhu Nagar", a local leader said on Sunday.

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had reportedly said at a rally in Ulhasnagar a couple of days ago that a metro line being built till Kalyan would be extended to Ulhasnagar and the metro station would be called Sindhu Nagar.

Ulhasnagar, a major hub of small industrial and business units, has a large Sindhi population and there have been demands earlier to name the township as Sindhu Nagar.

The town gets its name from Ulhas river, a westward flowing perennial water body which originates in the Sahyadari hill ranges of Ulhas valley near Udhewadi in Mawal taluka in Pune district. -- PTI
