Govt seeks 2nd round of opinion for spelling changes of places
Odisha government is proposing English spelling revisions for over 50 places to better reflect Odia pronunciation, including Cuttack to Kataka and Bargarh to Baragada. This initiative, following public feedback and expert review, aims to correct historical distortions and promote Odia identity, similar to the state's name change to Odisha. The revised list is now open for public suggestions.
