Gurgaon city has now officially been renamed as Gurugram. More than six months after the process to rename the city was initiated, the Haryana Government has now issued a gazette notification to this effect. However, the process to rename Gurgaon district is still in pipeline and it may take another week for it to be notified. However, the Haryana Cabinet approval to change the name of Gurgaon district came only on October 18 delaying the process to rename it. It was in April this year that the Haryana Government had floated the proposal to rename Gurgaon as Gurugram based on the historic connect of the city with Guru Dhronacharya.
