The Maharashtra cabinet, under the leadership of Eknath Shinde, has made significant decisions, including renaming Ahmednagar District to Ahilya Nagar. Additionally, the cabinet has approved the renaming of eight Mumbai railway stations with British-era names. Furthermore, a sea link project between Uttan (Bhayander) and Virar (Palghar) has been given the green light. The cabinet has also sanctioned the acquisition of 2.5 acres of land in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, for the construction of a Maharashtra Bhavan. The allocation for this project was included in the previous budget session of the Maharashtra Assembly.
Last year, Aurangabad and Osmanabad Revenue Divisions were officially renamed as Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Dharashiv Revenue Divisions, respectively.
The Maharashtra government issued a notification to change the names of the Aurangabad and Osmanabad Revenue Divisions to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Dharashiv Revenue Divisions respectively in September last year.
