The Maharashtra government said on Tuesday that it was seeking legal opinion on whether private entities could be forced to use ‘Mumbai’ in their names instead of ‘Bombay’, days after the Shiv Sena raised the demand and even blackened some boards which said ‘Bombay’.
Speaking to reporters after a meeting at the office of the Director-General of Police, Deputy Chief Minister R R Patil said although the city’s name had been legally changed to Mumbai from Bombay, some private entities and brands continued to persist with Bombay in their names.
