On MHA order, Raj Bhavans in 8 states renamed Lok Bhavan
Eight states and one Union Territory have renamed their governor/lieutenant governor's residences from 'Raj Bhavan/Raj Niwas' to 'Lok Bhavan/Lok Niwas'. This change, prompted by the Ministry of Home Affairs, aims to remove colonial-era nomenclature. The directive follows a suggestion at a governors' conference to shed the term 'Raj Bhavan' due to its colonial association.
