Yes I think so too.

Kalyandurgam is how it may be pronounced there or even as per state govt; but whatever is on the SB is been updated on IRI station page.

what locals call or state govt. has named is taken into consideration then MAQ on IRI page should be Mangaluru and not Mangalore, also GR - Gulbarga should Kalaburagi.
State govt. re-named these cities in 2014.
IR has officially failed to do these changes, hence IRI reflects these names in brackets. But the main name in IRI station page is as per SB.

Karthik, The state govt. Did not rename the city recently. It has been the actual name as per records even before my birth. Its sad that AP Govt. is not ready to take up such matters seriously. On a flip side its not gonna harm much to any users since people who will read TELUGU only will be able to read the name in TELUGU. The majority of TELUGU speaking or understanding people would like it be a read as a TELUGU name rather than a Kannada name. FYI... Answering your other concerns, IRI does not just follow SBs or IR names blindly. There are instances where we give preference to convenience over rules. It would be better to leave the decision of local names on how they should be appeared on IRI page to a local admn or monitor.

Sudarshan, so basically you are saying being a monitor it's your prerogative. I have to just shut up and not dare to ask question. Not even point out that the rural development trust hospital in Telugu reads - Kalyanadurgamu.
-
I recollect now in 2014 or 13, a member (I visited the site regularly then) had similarly pointed out that KJM Krishnarajapuram should not have m in the end as per Kannada norms. But there was discussion and told to follow what was on SB and DLS.

Anyway Lesson Learnt - Never dare question or comment about the action of a monitor/admin, lest you want to get kicked out.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
