Three railway stations in Uttar Pradesh have been renamed, according to an official notification released on Thursday. The stations are located within the Lucknow division of the Northern Railways. The new names of the stations are as follows:
1. Pratapgarh station is now called ‘Maa Belha Devi Dham Pratapgarh Junction.’
2. Antu station is now known as ‘Maa Chandrika Devi Dham Antu.’
3. Bishnathganj station has been renamed ‘Shanidev Dham Bishnathganj.’
In addition to the name changes, the alpha codes used to identify these stations have also been modified:
– Maa Belha Devi Dham Pratapgarh Junction is now identified as MBDP.
– Maa Chandrika Devi Dham Antu is now identified as MCDA.
– Shanidev Dham Bishnathganj is now identified as SBTJ.
This renaming of railway stations is part of a larger trend in Uttar Pradesh, where many prominent places and facilities have recently undergone name changes. Examples of these changes include Jhansi railway station being renamed ‘Veerangana Lakshmibai Railway Station,’ Allahabad becoming Prayagraj, Faizabad becoming Ayodhya, and Mughalsarai Railway Station becoming the ‘Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Railway Station.’
