Vadodara Municipal Corporation Moves to Name Nine Key Locations

The Vadodara Municipal Corporation has made a significant decision. It will give official names to nine places in the city. These locations include roads, bridges, crossroads, and gardens. Until now, people knew them only by the areas they were in.

Committee Meeting Set for Saturday

The VMC's estate management committee will hold a meeting this Saturday. Its sole agenda item is the naming of these nine places. The land and estate department proposed the names. This focus shows the importance of the task.

Sources reveal that elected representatives, citizens, organizations, and politicians suggested the names. The VMC aims to complete this naming process quickly. It wants to do so before the upcoming municipal elections.

Details of the Proposed Names

The list of places to be named is quite specific. Here are the key changes:

  • The road from Narayanwadi to the Atladara Swaminaryan Temple will become Mahant Swami Maharaj Road.
  • In the Subhanpura area, the road from Khodiyar Crossroads to Laxmipura will be called Maa Rani Padmavati Laxmipura Marg.
  • Gotri garden will now be known as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj Garden.
  • Sayajipura garden will receive the name Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Garden.
  • The garden near Sama pond will be called Shrimati Hansa Mehta Garden.
  • Tarsali Circle will officially become Bharat Mata Circle.
  • The Manjalpur-Atladara railway bridge is proposed to be named Maharana Pratap Bridge.
  • The road connecting Gorwa ITI to Narayan Garden will be named Jai Shri Ram Marg.
  • A road in the Waghodiya Road area, from Sukhdham Haveli to the VUDA housing scheme, will have a long name: Shri Vallabhacharyaji Tritiya Gruhadishwar Kankroli Naresh Goswami 108 Nitya Leela Shri Vrajeshkumarji Maharajshri Road.

This naming initiative reflects a broader effort to formalize city landmarks. It involves historical and cultural figures, adding identity to these spaces. The VMC's move is timely, aligning with electoral preparations to showcase civic engagement.
