Several events are held in all the 30 districts of the state as a part of the celebrations to mark the Telangana Formation Day. However, the celebrations will be muted this year due to the coronavirus lockdown.
Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao paid tribute to those who sacrificed their lives during the movement for statehood at Gun Park.
“CM Sri KCR paying floral tributes to Telangana Martyrs at Gun Park on the occasion of #TelanganaFormationDay,” the chief minister’s office tweeted along with a video.
President Ram Nath Kovind took to Twitter to extend his greetings.
“Greetings to the people of Telangana on statehood day. The entire nation is proud of the rich history of Telugu culture and literature. The hardworking people of this land have contributed significantly to the nation. May the state continue to prosper in the coming years,” President Kovind tweeted.
Prime Minister Modi also tweeted his wishes.
“Greetings to the people of Telangana on their Statehood Day. People from this state are excelling in a wide range of sectors. This state is making valuable contributions to the growth trajectory of India. I pray for the progress and prosperity of the people of Telangana,” PM Modi tweeted.
Vice president M Venkaiah Naidu also wished the people in a series of posts.
“Greetings to people of Telangana on State Formation Day. Endowed with natural resources and known for its rich history, the State has long been a meeting place for diverse languages and cultures. #TelanganaFormationDay,” Naidu posted on Twitter.
