District panchayat

The proposal to replace the name of Firozabad with Chandra Nagar was passed under the chairmanship of District Council President, Harshita Singh on July 31, in the district panchayat auditorium. Reportedly, Chandra Nagar is the ancient name of Firozabad that was given by Mughals. On the move, Singh said, ''The House passed the resolution as no one showed any opposition". However, it's yet to be passed by the government.
