The government has officially recognized 27 places and geographical features in Arunachal Pradesh by their standard names on the national map.
The Ministry of Home Affairs announced that 27 locations and natural features in Arunachal Pradesh have been officially recorded with their standard names on the country’s official map.
The update, part of a broader effort to standardise place names across India, ensures consistency for administrative, postal and cartographic purposes. It also aids in better navigation and emergency response in the state.
The list includes both inhabited villages and prominent natural landmarks such as rivers and hills. The names were verified through a joint survey by the Survey of India and local authorities.
Officials said the move will streamline data for future development projects and improve the accuracy of digital mapping services used by citizens and businesses alike.
