DEHRA DUN, OCT 5 (PTI)

Uttaranchal Assembly today passed a resolution to rename the state as Uttarakhand amid a noisy walkout by the opposition parties.

Tabling the resolution, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Indira Hridayesh said Uttarakhand was synonymous with the people’s struggle during the separate statehood movement and by bringing it in the Assembly, the government has fulfilled its longstanding promise.

Asking the Centre to accept the resolution, he said the government was committed to meet the sentiments and aspirations of the people of the state.
