Pratapgarh MP Sangam Lal Gupta had sent a proposal to the Union Railways Ministry to change the names of Pratapgarh Junction and Antu and Vishwanathganj railway stations on the basis of religious importance of these stations.

In 2020, Kaushambhi MP Vinod Sonkar had proposed to the government to rename Kunda Harnamganj station as Kripalu Maharaj as it is the birthplace of Jagadguru Kripalu Maharaj.

The proposal was sent to Railways and Home Ministries and the process is still on. (IANS/NJ)
