Telangana is Now the 29th State of India

HYDERABAD: TRS has decked up all major traffic junctions in the city with the party flags, KCR cut-outs and festoons.

Telangana is born as the 29th state of India. Telangana supporters have planned gala celebrations.

The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), which spearheaded the movement for separate state and will form the first government in Telangana, has painted Hyderabad pink - the colour of its flag.

The Telangana party will kick off as the clock strikes 12. The special firecrackers ordered from Mumbai will go off at 120 main junctions and roads across Hyderabad, TRS leaders said.

The official song of Telangana state will be played at several places, mainly at Tank Bund and Necklace Road along the Hussain Sagar lake, which divides the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad.

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), which has re-laid roads and beautified some key areas, will illuminate historic monuments like Charminar, Golconda Fort, the state assembly and Jubliee Hall.

With this, Andhra Pradesh will be formally split into two. Telangana will comprise 10 districts including Hyderabad while the residuary state of Andhra Pradesh will have 13 districts of coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions.

Hyderabad will serve as the common capital of the two states for 10 years.
