The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Uttar Pradesh Government after hearing a plea challenging the validity of changing the name of Allahabad to Prayagraj.

The decision to rename the city was made at a Cabinet meeting and came into effect immediately, UP Health Minister Siddharth Nath Singh had said at that time.
