 "11 years of Telangana: Statehood day celebrations, traffic advisory out")
India's youngest state, Telangana, is celebrating its 11th foundation day today, on June 2.
On the occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi wished Telangana a happy statehood day, saying the state has made "innumerable contributions to national progress" and that the NDA government has taken action to improve its citizens' "ease of living."
Meanwhile, as the state gears up to celebrate the Telangana Formation Day on June 2, the Hyderabad Police have released a traffic advisory. There will be restrictions on vehicle movement at many important junctions, and delays are anticipated throughout the morning and early afternoon.
Telangana Formation Day: History
On July 30, 2013, the Congress Working Committee adopted a resolution advocating for the creation of Telangana as a separate state. Protests calling for the creation of the state were going on at the time. To ensure the resolution of the matter, the Union Government formed a committee with a number of ministers.
The Union Government agreed to the call for the establishment of the new state after the group prepared a report. The Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill was subsequently approved by the Parliament in 2014. At the time, it was agreed that Hyderabad would serve as both Andhra Pradesh's and Telangana's joint capital for at least the next decade.
What is the Significance of the Telangana Formation Day?
Telangana Formation Day is a day to honour the struggles that the people of Telangana have endured in the pursuit of the formation of their state. More than 50 years of hardship and sacrifice led to the establishment of the state. This unique day honours Telangana's people's victory in establishing a distinct identity from Andhra Pradesh.
