BANGALORE: It's not just Bengalooru. Seven cities of Karnataka will be officially renamed after a gazette notification on November 1.
The Kannada and culture department has identified seven cities in the state as having "Anglicised" names and suggested new names for them.
Bangalore, Mysore, Mangalore, Hubli, Shimoga, Belgaum and Hospet will become Bengalooru, Mysooru, Mangalooru, Hubballi, Shivamogga, Belagaavi and Hosapete.
"This is the list we've drawn up. We've left out names like Gulbarga, because those are not Anglicised. This list will be put up before the state cabinet and pending any additions that the ministers think of, these seven cities will be renamed on November 1," Kannada and culture secretary I M Vittal Murthy told The Times of India.
The English spellings still have to be finalised.
