The Eknath Shinde-led government in Maharashtra on Saturday gave a cabinet approval to rename Aurangabad and Osmanabad cities as Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Dharashiv respectively.
The decision to rename these cities was taken in the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government`s last cabinet meeting chaired by the then chief minister Uddhav Thackeray on June 29, just before he resigned.
