Proposal to rename Ladyhill Circle put on hold

Mangaluru: The City Corporation has decided to put on hold its proposal to rename the Ladyhill Circle as Sri Narayana Guru Circle.

The proposal for renaming the circle was to be tabled during the general session of the council today (September 22).

However, the MCC received several letters from the public as well as educational institutions objecting to the proposed name change.

The Ladyhill group of educational institutions, whose name became synonymous with the junction near it, as well as former students of the institution, have objected to the renaming.

In a letter written to the corporation, it was expressed that instead of changing names of roads and other places it would be better if the ‘leaders concentrate on development works and the Mangaluru Smart City project.’
