Official naming of a road in Naigaon, Dadar East, has irked the locals who alleged that the former corporator, Urmila Panchal, did not consult with them before proposing a new name.

The dispute is over the naming of the road along the Vyaghreshwar temple. For years, the locals referred to it as Vyaghreshwar temple road. However, the BMC passed a proposal to name it as Nirupankar Nanasaheb Dharmadhikari road before its tenure ended on March 7, much to the displeasure of the local residents.
