The Greater Noida and the Kasna police stations in Gautam Buddh Nagar have been renamed as Site-5 and Beta-2 police stations, respectively, officials said Tuesday.

The Uttar Pradesh government's Home Department had issued an order towards this change, effective immediately, on Monday, the officials said.

"With the order from the state government, the Greater Noida police station will henceforth be known as the Site-5 police station while the Kasna police station will be known as the Beta-2 police station," a police spokesperson said.
