Tamil Nadu CM Criticizes Hindi Naming at Tiruchirappalli Railway, Board Removed After Protests
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin criticized the BJP-led Central government for imposing Hindi through the 'one language, three scripts' approach, citing examples like the 'Kartavya Dwar' signage at Tiruchirappalli Railway Division and Hindi names at EPFO offices. He demanded the use of proper Tamil names and warned of strong opposition if the practice continued. Following protests, the Tiruchi Railway Division removed the Hindi words from the entrance arch. BJP and AIADMK leaders described the issue as a mistake, with officials promising corrections amid upcoming elections.
