Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa on Monday requested his Kerala counterpart Pinarayi Vijayan not to change the names of 11 villages in Kasaragod and Manjeshwara taluks in Kasaragod district, which abuts Karnataka. “The Kerala government may not have the intention to change the names of these villages and this may have been a unilateral decision of the local bodies of these villages,” Mr. Yediyurappa said in a letter to Mr. Vijayan. “I hope you will oblige and make the Kannada-speaking people of Kasaragod and Manjeshwara happy by taking a decision to stall the process of changing the names,” he stated.More Related News
