Himachal Pradesh CM Jairam Thakur has clarified the BJP government in the state is not considering the proposal to rename Shimla as Shyamala. "We had received a suggestion to rename Shimla and it's our duty to hear all suggestions," CM Thakur said. Earlier, Congress leader Anand Sharma had said any move to rename Shimla would be "absurd and totally unacceptable".
