Telangana: No Independence Day celebration at Golconda Fort this year

HYDERABAD: For the first time since Telangana formation day, the Independence Day celebrations will not be held at Golconda Fort this year. The event is likely to be held at Pragati Bhavan with limited number of guests. In the wake of the recent arrest of NSUI protesters who tried to barge into Pragati Bhavan, adequate security will be provided around the venue.
Every year prior to the Independence Day celebrations at Golconda Fort, the state government agencies used to do a rehearsal of various programs 15 days ahead of the event.
However, due to the pandemic, this year no such rehearsals took place and government sources confirmed that the Independence Day celebrations are not going to be held this year at Golconda fort.
On Thursday, Advanced Security Liaison team that inspects the venue ahead of VVIP’s visit, went to Parade Grounds in Secunderabad, where CM will lay wreath at Martyr’s Memorial before attending the Independence Day celebrations.
