[Wikimediaindia-l] Renumbering of National Highways of India

[Shiju Alex]

:(

Just noticed that there is a discussion regarding this in English Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Indian_roads#NHAI_Renumbering_complete

But many language wikipedia communities are not aware about this
renumbering. Hope they will take of note of this now.
