Egypt's Minister of Youth, Khaled Abdel Aziz, issued a decision on Thursday to name youth centers after police members who died while on duty, reported the state-owned news agency. 

The minister of youth coordinated with the interior minster to change the names of youth centers, which are traditionally named after their location, into the names of 157 policemen who died after June 30.

The change will occur in at least 20 governorates.
