Rajasthan Renames Three Cities Amid Heritage Drive and Announces Job Recruitment Plans

Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma announced renaming Mount Abu to Abu Raj, Jahazpur to Yagyapur, and Kaman to Kamvan as part of a heritage conservation and decolonisation effort. The government also plans to recruit 1.25 lakh people for jobs and establish a skill development center in Jaipur. Opposition leaders criticized the renaming as a diversion from governance issues, including delayed local body elections and economic challenges.
