Gurgaon renamed as Gurugram: How Twitteratis react

Gurgaon, Apr 13: The Haryana government has changed the name of Millenium City Gurgaon to Gurugram. The decision was taken on the basis of the representations received at several fora that it would be appropriate to rename Gurgaon as Gurugram.

"Haryana is a historic land of the Bhagwat Gita and Gurgaon had been a centre of learning. It had been known as Gurgaon since the times of Guru Dronacharya.

Gurgaon was a great center of education where the princes used to be provided education.

"Therefore, since long the people of the area had been demanding that Gurgaon be renamed as Gurugram," the spokesman said while justifying the decision of the Bharatiya Janata Party government in the state led by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.

#Gurugram may have been OK a few decades ago, but wouldn't GuruKilo have been more appropriate now? Nuh ? Ok, then...
