Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Monday announced the renaming of Ballabgarh town in Faridabad as Balramgarh.

The process to change the name in official records may take a few months, said a Haryana government official.

Princely State

Local MLA Moolchand Sharma and the Raja Nahar Singh Society had been demanding for long that the town be renamed after its founder king Balram Singh.

Situated around 30 km from Delhi on National Highway-2, Ballabgarh is a town and a tehsil (sub-division).

The princely State was founded by Balram Singh in 1739. Ballabgarh means ‘the fort of Balram’.

Raja Nahar Singh, who ascended the throne of Ballabgarh in 1829, was the ruler of 101 villages.
