Gazette Notification Description

  • This Extraordinary Gazette notification from the Ministry of Defence, dated January 31, 2025, officially changes the name of Allahabad Cantonment to Prayagraj Cantonment.
  • The change is based on a prior Uttar Pradesh government notification (no. 76/2018/1574/1-5-2018-72/2017, dated October 18, 2018) that renamed Allahabad district to Prayagraj district.
  • The Cantonment Board, Allahabad, initiated the name change, and the Central Government approved it under Section 3, sub-section (1), read with Section 259, sub-section (1) of the Cantonments Act, 2006 (41 of 2006).
