Following widespread criticism over prefixing ‘Hubballi’ in the name boards of bus stops in Dharwad and pressure from various organisations, the Hubballi Dharwad Municipal Corporation (HDMC) has erased ‘Hubballi’ from these boards.
In the wake of a movement seeking creation of a separate municipal corporation for Dharwad, the municipal corporation had erected name boards at bus shelters mentioning ‘Hubballi-Dharwad’. The move had evoked strong reactions from various organisations and the public.
Particularly, members of the forum who have launched agitation seeking creation of separate municipal corporation had taken strong exception to the move and termed it a ploy by the authorities.
