However, the numerical codes for these stations listed in the “Alphabetical List of Railway Stations in India” by IRCA, New Delhi, will remain unchanged.

As per the order, corrections to reflect these name changes and codes will be issued by the Secretary-General/IRCA New Delhi.

Reacting to this name change, Samajwadi Party MP Akhilesh Yadav has criticized the administration on social media, urging them to focus on railway safety alongside name changes.

Taking to X, he said ‘There is a request to the BJP government to change not just the names but also the conditions of the railway stations. …And when you get free time from changing names, then take some time out and think about preventing record-breaking railway accidents.’
