Belagavi Cantonment has proposed renaming 34 roads as part of an initiative to honour Indian heroes and martyrs, replacing street names associated with British officers. This proposal, introduced by nominated Cantonment Board member Sudhir Tupekar, aims to commemorate soldiers and figures who contributed to the nation’s independence and defence. The decision was taken at the Cantonment Board meeting on July 15, where the board approved the renaming effort pending public feedback.
The Cantonment Board has invited citizens to submit objections or comments on the proposed changes within 30 days. Citizens who voice their concerns can visit the Cantonment Board office to register their objections formally. Once this period concludes, the board will finalize and implement the new names.
