Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option A: Parshurampuri. The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet approved the renaming of Jalalabad in Shahjahanpur district as Parshurampuri on 6 July 2026. The renaming also applies to the municipal body, which will now be known as Parshurampuri Nagar Palika Parishad. Parshurampuri is associated with the traditional belief that it is the birthplace of Lord Parshuram, the sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu in Hindu tradition. In India, the renaming of towns and cities requires coordination between the State Government, the Union Government, and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). The Ministry of Home Affairs issued a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the renaming proposal on 19 August 2025. The local Municipal Council supported the name change through resolutions passed in 2018 and 2023 before the proposal was processed by the State Government. A Nagar Palika Parishad is an urban local body responsible for the administration of a municipal town in India. Shahjahanpur is a district in Uttar Pradesh, and the region is represented in Parliament by Jitin Prasada.
