Dheeksha Day Celebrated with Enthusiasm in Gadwal
The Jogulamba Gadwal district came alive on Friday with the spirited celebration of Dheeksha Day, a momentous occasion in Telangana’s history.

Former MLC and Dheeksha Day district in-charge Karne Prabhakar, Alampur MLA Vijaya Reddy, and former Sports Authority Chairman Anjaneyulu Goud were among the distinguished guests who attended.
The day was dedicated to honoring Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) for his pivotal role in the Telangana movement. Leaders at the event stressed that it was KCR’s unwavering determination that led to the success of the statehood agitation. They described his indefinite hunger strike as a defining moment in the struggle, urging every Telangana citizen to remember this historic day.
The program began with floral tributes to the Telangana Talli statue, followed by pouring milk on KCR’s portrait as a mark of respect. The BRS party flag was also hoisted to commemorate the occasion.
