From The Hindu

A day after the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center in New York City, U.S., some youngsters held a condolence meeting in the village. Later, they renamed the village as ‘New York’, according to the residents.

Mind you, its not a bed of roses over there

The village, which has nearly 1,000 residents, however, lacks infrastructure. Roads, drinking water, toilets, power supply, streetlights, drainage system, anganwadi centre and a community hall are among the demands of the residents.
