The Karnataka state government, led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, has approved a significant administrative change during Friday's Cabinet meeting. The decision involves renaming Ramanagara district as "Bengaluru South," responding to local residents' requests.
Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister HK Patil announced the decision, stating that the Revenue Department will initiate the renaming process. He emphasized that only the district's name will change, with all other aspects remaining unaltered.
Ramanagara district, which includes the taluks of Ramanagara, Magadi, Kanakapura, Channapatna, and Harohalli, has been the focus of a recent campaign for renaming.
