Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao directed officials to organise 10th Telangana State Formation Day celebrations and to showcase the state’s achievements.
The CM instructed officials to organise programmes to display the achievements of the state government in agriculture, electricity generation and public welfare by ensuring the participation of people from villages and cities during state Formation Day celebrations.
The Chief Minister said the opening ceremony of the 21-day State Formation Day celebrations will be held at the Dr BR Ambedkar Secretariat on June 2.
A high-level review meeting was held at the Secretariat under the chairmanship of the CM to take stock of the preparations and action plan for Telangana State’s Formation Day celebrations. The CM discussed with higher officials how to organise official programmes for 21 days.
Like the power sector, the Telangana government strengthened agriculture, social welfare, irrigation, drinking water, education, medical service and healthcare and developments achieved in all sectors should be conveyed to the people through the media and channels.
We want to spend these three weeks with the people of Telangana who are enjoying the fruits of ‘Swarashtra Sadhana.’ The CM reiterated that the 10th State Formation Day celebrations from village to city-level should be celebrated in a grand manner and a festive atmosphere.
As KCR had already decided to hold State Formation Day celebrations at the BR Ambedkar Secretariat on June 2, the Chief Minister discussed organizing official programmes including the setting up of a stage in the secretariat, reception of salute by the police, hoisting of the national flag etc.
KCR gave instructions to higher officials to make necessary arrangements to provide parking facilities for invitees and ‘High Tea’ for guests.
The CM also discussed arrangements for conducting 10th TS anniversary programmes for 21 days across the state.
“The first decade Telangana Formation Day celebrations is a great occasion in the history of Telangana. Telangana, which was once subjected to many insults and misconceptions, is now emerging in a remarkable way. The State registered progress in all sectors like electricity generation, agriculture and irrigation and is now an example for the country,” KCR said.
“Today, people are enjoying the fruits of self-governance. The progress of Telangana in the last 10 years should be celebrated with the participation of people from every village. Telangana suffered a lot due to power cuts in united Andhra Pradesh. Today, the power sector in Telangana has been strengthened. We are providing uninterrupted 24-hour electricity supply to farmers free. These things should be explained to the people. Due to the carelessness of previous rulers, inverters and converters were everywhere in Telangana. Damaged electricity poles used to cause accidents. Hanging power lines took the lives of many people. No one cared about power lines when they were snapped. Today, strong electric poles have been laid, and quality electric wires are used for continuous power supply and transformers have been installed to ensure uninterrupted power supply. Telangana registered a big success in the power sector by launching reforms in the supply and generation of power. The people of Telangana are bow experiencing this,” the CM added.
