Telangana Governor CP Radhakrishnan, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, and other leaders attended the 10th state formation day celebrations in Hyderabad on Sunday evening.
Revanth Reddy paid homage at the statue of Babasaheb Ambedkar at the Tank Bund and received the Governor. The Chief Minister and the Governor visited the stalls set up by self-help group women. The performances by artistes of traditional Telangana art forms, ‘flag walk’ by trainee policemen holding national flags in their hands, colorful display of fireworks and laser show were the other attractions of the event.
The newly-unveiled state anthem ‘Jaya Jaya he Telangana’, penned by noted Telangana poet Ande Sri for which music was composed by Oscar winning music director MM Keeravani, was played at the event.
Rain did not dampen the spirits of those who participated in the celebration.
