Name change for Cities

The Karnataka government has finally decided to implement the name change of Bangalore to Bengalooru from November 1st. But this is not the only city changing, along with Bangalore 6 other cities are having their names changed. Following is the name list:

• Bangalore --> Bangalooru
• Mangalore --> Mangalooru
• Mysore --> Mysooru
• Belgaum --> Belagaavi
• Hubli --> Hubballi
• Shimoga --> Shivamogga
• Hospet --> Hosapete

So looks like this is finally happening. There is always a habit of copy, so I am guessing their will be many more states in India which will try changing more names of cities. Hope with the name change, the government will be able to improve the infrastructure of these cities as well.
