The Modi government is continuing with its name-changing spree, with the government now deciding to rename Havelock Island to Swaraj Dweep, Neil Island to Shaheed Dweep and Ross Island to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Island.
The three islands are part of the Andamans.
While the proposal has been cleared by the Ministry of Home Affairs, the announcement will be made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his visit to Port Blair on December 2018 , to mark the 75th anniversary of Bose’s historic visit to the islands.
“The government has decided to announce the change of name for the three islands -Havelock Island, Neil Island and Ross Island - as a tribute to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose,” a home ministry official said. “It will be announced along with other plans for the islands during PM’s visit at the end of this month.”
