Jaipur: The name of 'Miyan ka Bara Halt' located near the Pakistan border in the Barmer district of Rajasthan has been changed. Now the new name of this station has now become 'Mahesh Nagar Halt'. An official function to rename 'Mian Ka Bara' railway station as 'Mahesh Nagar Halt' has been held in the Balotra area of Barmer district of Rajasthan.
Union Water Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and Union Minister of State for Agriculture Kailash Chaudhary and others attended the function on Saturday (April 30, 2022). In 2018, the name of the village was changed from 'Mian Ka Bara' to Mahesh Nagar, but then the name of the railway station was not changed. Union Water Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat has said, "This is a long process of changing the name of a place. Both the central government and the state government give their consent, after which the name of the railway station is changed. The villagers had been demanding for a long time to change the name of this station. Keeping in mind the sentiments of the villagers, now the name of the railway station has been changed, so we also came to join the happiness of the village. ”
Kailash Chaudhary said, "Naming Mian Ka Bara railway station as Mahesh Nagar is an essential step to maintain the local cultural identity. It's a historic day for the locals. The Central Government under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi is committed to bringing about such cultural changes along with development and advancement. '
