Remove caste names from roads, public places: Tamil Nadu SC/ST Commission directs Collectors
Imayam, acting chair of Tamil Nadu’s SC/ST Commission, sent a letter to district collectors ordering the deletion and renaming of any road or public‑place names that reference caste groups. The commission has asked each collector to complete the changes and submit a compliance report within one month, aiming to eliminate caste‑based identifiers from official signage.
