India, Oct. 19 -- The Delhi government has reportedly received a request for changing Delhi's name to 'Indraprastha' as well as the renaming of several other landmarks of the city, including the Indira Gandhi International Airport, also after the same.

The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Sunday wrote a letter to Delhi culture minister Kapil Mishra demanding that Delhi be renamed 'Indraprastha' to connect the city with its ancient history and culture, according to PTI news agency.

The letter also demands renaming Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI Airport) as Indraprastha International Airport, Delhi Railway Station as Indraprastha Railway Station and Shahjahanabad Development Board as Indraprastha Development Board.
