BI India BureauSep 21, 2016, 19:14 IST

Prime Minister Narendra Modi doesn’t stay at Race Course Road in Delhi now. He stays at Lok Kalyan Marg.

Yes, Lutyens Delhi's iconic Race Course road now has been renamed to Lok Kalyan Marg, a decision which was taken at a meeting of New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) presided by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Apart from Race Course Road, now Gurudwara Rakabganj round-about adjacent to the Parliament complex will be known as Guru Gobind Singh Chowk.

In the meeting, Kejriwal proposed to rename the Race Course Road after Guru Gobind Singh, the 10th Sikh Guru, but some members were not convinced.

"I had proposed renaming of the road after Guru Govind Singh while Lekhi said it should be renamed as Ekatma Marg. I suggested that the PM should be consulted on this but the Council members decided that on the basis of suggestions received from public, the road should be renamed as Lok Kalyan Marg," Kejriwal said.

So, now Modi’s official address is 7 Lok Kalyan marg.
