The street running behind the Central Stadium in Ulaanbaatar has been
named after the famous Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi. Present at the
street's opening ceremony held Tuesday were the UB City Mayor Mr.
Ts.Batbayar; the Indian Ambassador to Mongolia, Mr. Gauri Shankar
Gupta; the Head of Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
Mr. S.Khurelbaatar, and the Head of Mongolian-Indian Freindship Soiety,
Ch.Dambajav. The one-kilometer long street, connecting the Olympic
Avenue with the Peace Avenue, is located in the ''A'' central zone of
Ulaanbaatar. A number of centralized constructions such as Japan Town
and Altai Construction Town will be built in the surroundings of the
street. The UB City Khural (Assembly) of Citizens' Representatives made
a decision to name the street after Mahatma Gandhi within the scope of
the measures planned for the 50th jubilee of the establishment of the
diplomatic relations between Mongolia and India. As well, a street in
Delhi was named after the Ulaanbaatar City last year. The street's
inauguration ceremony was attended by the Mongolian Minister of Foreign
Affairs.
