Maharashtra Renames Ahmednagar Railway Station to Ahilyanagar

The Maharashtra government has officially changed the name of the Ahmednagar railway station to Ahilyanagar.

This decision was made after getting approval from the Union Home Ministry.

The renaming honors Ahilyabai Holkar, a historical figure.

The change was proposed and supported by local leaders.

Now, the railway will update all signs, digital systems, and announcements to reflect the new name.

People will start seeing the changes on station boards and railway records gradually.

This action is part of recognizing and celebrating historical figures.
