The Agra zila panchayat has proposed to change the names of Fatehabad to Sindoorpuram and the Badshahi Bagh area of the town to Brahma Bagh, said officials on Thursday. The resolution was passed during the zila panchayat's board meeting on June 23 unanimously. The proposal was put forth by zila Panchayat chairperson Manju Bhadoria in the meeting. 'It will now be sent to the state government for approval for a final decision,' Bhadoria told The Indian Express. Bhadoria said the new names were decided to celebrate the success of Operation Sindoor. 'It is also to honour those who lost their lives in the Pahalgam terror attack and our forces. This came to our mind that Fatehabad constituency is a symbol of slavery and so the name be changed to Sindoorpuram from Fatehabad,' said the chairperson. She also said before 1658, Fatehabad was known as Samugarh. 'Aurangzeb changed the name to Fatehabad after he won in the battle. In Samugarh, Aurangzeb also built Badshahi Bagh. We have also proposed that the name of Badshahi Bagh be changed to Brahma Bagh on the name of the Lord Brahma or the BrahMos Missile,' Bhadauria said. 'We want every resident of Agra to understand the significance of the operation Sindoor. It was unanimously passed by all the 51 members of the constituency,' she added.
