Circle in Rajpipla named after Manvendra’s great grandfather

Gohil told Newsline: “The crossroad,where the statue of my great grandfather is located,is known as Kalaghoda. My great grandfather was known for his interest in horse races in India,and also in countries like Ireland,Belgium and France.”

Gohil said it took him two years to get the crossroads at the entrance of the town officially rechristened as the Vijay Circle.

He said: “Narmada District Collector R M Patel had advised me to follow the protocol of first informing the municipality as well as the authorities at Gandhinagar about the renaming of the crossroad.”

He said the changes need to be made in the records of several departments,including the Post and Telegraph,and the Revenue Department.
