Naidu rejects minister’s demand to rename Akbar Road
New Delhi:Union Urban Development Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu on Wednesday rejected demands to rename Akbar Road – one of the most elite addresses in Delhi.
“It’s not on my agenda. My priority is to improve civic administration. My priority is to make cities a place of better living,” Naidu told a news channel.
Union Minister of State for External Affairs V.K. Singh had written to Naidu that Akbar Road should be renamed after the man who fought Mughal Emperor Akbar – 16th century Rajput king Maharana Pratap.
“You would be aware that he was not only instrumental in stopping the might of Mughal king Akbar but he was truly secular and a man of masses,” Singh said in the letter.
Earlier, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has also demanded Akbar Road should be renamed.
The Congress headquarters and other prominent addresses are located on Akbar Road, in Lutyens zone.
The NDA government had earlier renamed Aurangzeb Road to A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Road in the memory of the former president.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
