A major controversy erupted in Nagpur over the removal of Aurangzeb's tomb, leading to widespread violence. Several homes, shops, and vehicles were set on fire during the clashes. Hindu organizations, including VHP and Bajrang Dal, declared plans to remove the tomb through a "kar seva" (voluntary service), causing tension in the region. However, the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) has distanced itself from the issue, calling it unnecessary. In a related development, the Uttarakhand government, led by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, has announced a decision to rename several places in the state. Haridwar's Aurangzebpur will now be known as Shivaji Nagar, along with other areas such as Gaziwali, Arya Nagar, Chandpur, Jotiba Phule Nagar, Mohammadpur Jat, and Mohanpur Jat Khan. The list of renamed places was shared on social media by the CM, and this move has sparked further debates over historical legacies and regional identity.
