New Delhi: Telangana, the country's 29th state, will be born on June 2 and start functioning from that day.
A Home Ministry spokesperson said tonight that the Foundation Day of the new state will be June 2 when Telangana will come into existence and start functioning as a separate state.
The central government has already issued a gazette notification on the formation of the 29 th state of the country.
This came after Parliament gave its approval on February 20 for the creation of Telangana by bifurcating Andhra Pradesh.
The declaration of the “Appointed Day” or the foundation day came a day before the Election Commission's proposed announcement of the schedule of the general election.
