PM Modi renames 3 islands in Andaman and Nicobar, says 'Ross Island will be known as Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island'

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday renamed three islands in Andaman and Nicobar, naming one of them after Subhash Chandra Bose. Addressing a public function in Port Blair, Modi said the three islands — Ross Island, Neil Island and Havelock Island — will now be called Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island, Shaheed Dweep and Swaraj Dweep. Modi asked people to take out their mobile phones and switch on the flashlights as a gesture to pay tribute to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. The PM hoisted a 150-feet-high national flag at Port Blair to mark the 75th anniversary of freedom fighter Subhash Chandra Bose's declaration of the formation of the Azad Hind government in 1943.
