Union minister G Kishan Reddy led the celebrations of Telangana’s Foundation Day today at the Golconda Fort in Hyderabad unfurling the National Flag.
President of India Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi also extended greetings to the people of Telangana on the occasion of the 10th Telangana Formation Day.
It may be noted that Telangana was formed out of Andhra Pradesh in the year 2014. The separation of the two states was the culmination of a long journey that began in 1952 and ended on June 2, 2014 after protests, demonstrations and activism with K Chandrasekhar Rao taking the oath as the first Chief Minister of the state.
Since then, June 2 is observed as the Telangana Day officially every year. Telangana Foundation Day is a public holiday in the state.
