Bhopal : Representatives of the Sikh community met State Assembly Protem Speaker Rameshwar Sharma on Wednesday and submitted a memorandum requesting to rename Idgah Hills (in Bhopal) as ‘Guru Nanak Tekri’.

“I will request everyone to call it ‘Guru Nanak Tekri’. I will submit this memorandum to Chief Minister,” he added.
