ASI Reply On Hyderabad Name: These days in India, the process of changing the names of historical and old cities is going on. In the recent past, the names of many cities have been changed and there is a demand to change the names of many. The name of Hyderabad of South India has also been included in this list.

In recent times, the discussion of the BJP calling Hyderabad as Bhagyanagar and renaming the city is in full swing. In such a situation, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has said in response to an RTI that it has no information about renaming Hyderabad as Bhagyanagar.

ASI’s reply on Bhagyalakshmi temple

The ASI revealed that it does not even have any details of the historical records of the Bhagyalakshmi temple in Charminar, Hyderabad. Let us tell you that the ASI’s response to the Bhagyanagar name and Bhagyalakshmi temple in Hyderabad was given in response to an application filed by RTI activist Robin Zachius. Robin had sought records or historical evidence on these cases from the ASI under the Right to Information (RTI).
