Kodagu (Karnataka) : A demand for changing the name from ‘Rajiv Gandhi National Park’ to ‘General Cariappa’ National Park

Editor’s comment

• Patriots should not have to make such demands, it is expected that the Government should take such actions on their own !

Kodagu (Karnataka) – In a letter to the CM of Karnataka and the Prime Minister, locals from here have requested the name change from ‘Rajiv Gandhi National Park’ to General Cariappa’ National Park. Field Marshal K.M. Cariappa was a resident from here. This petition was sent by Naveen Mandappa and Vinay Kayapanda and has been signed by 6,000 people. Field Marshal Cariappa was the first Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army. During the India-Pakistan war in 1947, he led the Army on the western forefront.

Two residents of Kodagu have launched an online petition asking Karnataka CM and PM Modi to rename the Rajiv Gandhi National Park.#RajivGandhiNationalPark
