Telangana is celebrating its eighth formation day. On this day in 2014, Telangana came into existence after being bifurcated from Andhra Pradesh. Since then, June 2 is marked every year as Telangana Formation Day or Telangana Statehood Day. President Ram Nath Kovind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and others took to Twitter and greeted people of the state on Wednesday. Celebrations of Telangana Formation Day are low-key for the second consecutive year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I wish Telangana continues to expand its traditional, modern and futuristic industries. It has fulfilled the national objective of providing water to every home...," President Kovind tweeted.
