Telangana Day or Telangana Formation Day is observed on June 2. The day commemorates the formation of the state of Telangana. The day is a state public holiday in Telangana. Telangana’s 30 districts honour this day by hoisting the national flag.
The formation of Telangana signifies the victory of the Telangana movement. It commemorates the official separation of Telangana from the state of Andhra Pradesh. On 2 June 2014, a 57-year-old movement came to an end, realising the hopes of the Telangana people. The movement not only provided the people of the region with a separate identity but also created a change in India’s map, which now shows the state’s boundaries.
