Rename Pune as 'Jijapur': Maratha outfit to state govt
Sambhaji Brigade, a Maratha organisation, has sought to rename the city of Pune to 'Jijapur' in a letter issued to the Maharashtra government. This comes after Shiv Sena demanded Aurangabad, Osmanabad and Khultabad in Marathwada area to be renamed to Sambhaji Nagar, Dharashiv, and Ratnaprabha, respectively. The Centre has reportedly approved renaming of 25 places in the last one year.
