Road named after famous civil servant Haider Ali, changed to Bajrang Nagar


Ranchi Municipal Corporation passed a resolution in November in which it has changed the name of Haider Ali road to Bajrang Nagar. The members of the Muslim community opposed the move. Haider Ali was the famous civil servant who came to Ranchi and played an important role in building key projects that gave life to city transportation besides many other things. Local people criticized the move by saying that it was an attempt to dilute the Muslim contribution to the city by erasing their names. In this regard Hidayatullah Khan, President of Minority Welfare, an NGO, wrote a memorandum to the Chief Minister of the state Shri Hemant Soren.
