The central government has renamed Port Blair in Andaman & Nicobar as Sri Vijaya Puram to remove colonial legacies. Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced this, underscoring the islands' unique role in India's freedom struggle. This follows PM Modi's 2018 initiative of renaming three other islands as a tribute to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
