Fourth Formation day of India’s 29th State of Telangana celebrated at Parade Grounds in the state capital Hyderabad, where the Chief Minister unfurled the national flag and reviewed a colourful parade by police.
Telangana State ministers, MPs, legislators and other public representatives hoisted the Tricolour in the districts while the day was also celebrated with enthusiasm at government offices. The ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and the opposition parties also organised the celebrations at their respective offices to mark the day.
For the first time the Telangana Formation Day was also celebrated in schools as the government shortened the summer vacation to ensure opening of schools from June 1.
Telangana was carved out of Andhra Pradesh as the 29th state of the country in 2014 after a long people’s struggle.
