Ramanagara To Be Renamed Bengaluru South District, Notification Soon, Says Shivakumar

Shivakumar said the district headquarters would continue to be called Ramanagara.

“Today, the entire cabinet had a discussion. I am very happy to announce that Ramanagara district, which was earlier part of the Bengaluru district, will now be called Bengaluru South District. The district headquarters will remain in Ramanagara,” Shivakumar told reporters.

Shivakumar linked the move to asserting the region’s identity and development goals. “We (current Ramanagara district people) are trying to save our Bengaluru identity. This region is developing,” he said.

According to the Union ministry of home affairs (MHA) guidelines, state governments need its approval before the notification on changing the name of a village, town or district is issued by a state government.
