The BJP leader on Thursday told reporters that all papers concerning the proposal were sent earlier in the week. ADVERTISEMENTThe first formal step to rename Aligarh was taken in August 2021, when the newly elected president of the Aligarh Zila Parishad, Vijay Singh, sent a proposal to the state. He said that in 1803, the region, known as Kol, was conquered by British forces under Lord Lake, and the whole area was made into a district named Aligarh. Barring a brief period, when under the Jats, it was named Ramgarh Fortress, the fortress has carried the name Aligarh, Pundhir said.
