Chandrayaan 2 was sent to the moon in 2019, but lost control at the last moment and had a hard landing on the moon. PM Modi said, when the steps of Chandrayaan-2 were lying on the moon, it was decided to name it, but the circumstances were not like that at that time. We had then decided that when Chandrayaan-3 successfully steps on the moon, the name of the place where Chandrayaan-2’s lander landed would also be announced.
