Talk:Puducherry (city)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Someone please edit the main article along the following lines:
Only the Union Territory of Pondicherry has been renamed to the Union Territory of Puducherry by an act of the Indian Parliament. Pondicherry city remains Pondicherry city. A notice to this effect will be published in the next gazette of the govt (of Puducherry).
It is likely that the local politicians will decide to rename the city too to Puducherry. But this is a long drawn out process, requiring the consent of various central govt ministries; it is much easier to rename a state or a union territory than it is to rename a city. So at least for the next few months or even years, the city will remain Pondicherry.--Ujm 02:52, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Finally the law renaming the UT passed and now the official name is Puducherry. I think it is normal to change also here the name the same as for Mumbai and Chennai. Desiphral-देसीफ्राल talk-फेन मा 18:11, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
