Aurangabad Railway Station Renamed Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar With New Code CPSN

South Central Railway confirmed the change following a Maharashtra gazette notification on October 15 and directed that the old name no longer appear in official communication.

Overview

  • South Central and Central Railway announced the rechristening over the weekend, stating the competent authority has approved the change.
  • The station will be referenced by the updated code CPSN and remains under the Nanded Division of South Central Railway.
  • A bilingual release instructed that the former name be discontinued in all railway correspondence and systems.
  • The state government’s October 15 gazette notification cleared the administrative path for the railway to implement the new name.
