New Delhi, Oct 10 (PTI) The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) will consider proposals to rename several major roads in Burari after notable figures, including spiritual leaders and national heroes, according to an official.

The proposals include renaming the Burari Garhi Chopal via Valmiki Temple Main Road as Bhagwan Maharishi Valmiki Marg and a nearby road in Burari village as Shaheed General Bipin Rawat Marg, according to the agenda of the meeting.
