The trend of changing the names of districts in Uttar Pradesh is very old. Recently Faizabad was changed to Ayodhya and Allahabad to Prayagraj. On similar lines, demand is now being raised to change the name of Moradabad. In fact, Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, the head of Sribageshwar Dham government, raised the demand during Hanumant Katha on Monday that the name of Moradabad should be Madhav Nagar.

Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri said during his story that in this brass city there is a temple of Kali Mata, there is a temple of Sheetala Mata, there is a temple of Siddhabali Baba. Apart from this Brijghat is Ganga. There are many other rivers here including Ramganga river, hence such a city should not be called Moradabad but Madhav Nagar. However, till now there has been no political reaction to this demand nor has any official decision been taken on it.
