In February this year, the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government has changed the name of Bhopal's Islam Nagar village to Jagdishpur. The change in the name was also approved by the Centre.

The BJP has claimed that the name of Islam Nagar used to be Jagdishpur 308 years ago.
Last year, the state government had received clearance for changing the name of Hishangabad to Narmadapuram and Nasrullahganj to Bhairunda but the notification was issued today.
