New Delhi: The Centre on Friday approved the renaming of Maharashtra's Aurangabad and Osmanabad, deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said. The Centre approved the Maharashtra cabinet's proposal of changing the names of the two cities Aurangabad to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Osmanabad to Dharashiv. Earlier last week, Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh had told the Bombay High Court that the Central government has given its no objection to the name change of Osmanabad city.
