The ruling TRS, other political parties and Telangana supporters have lined up a number of events in Hyderabad and elsewhere to celebrate the realisation of the decades-long dream.

TRS activists and supporters have already painted Hyderabad pink, the colour of TRS flag, by installing huge cut-outs, banners, festoons and balloons hailing their leader.  

According to TRS sources, cultural programmes would be organised from 9 pm to 11.59 pm tonight and a dazzling display of fireworks would be held from mid-night at People's Plaza and Tank Bund at the picturesque Hussain Sagar lake to celebrate the occasion.

Chandrasekhar Rao's daughter and MP Kavitha would attend the celebrations at Telangana Bhavan, the TRS headquarters here.

The journey towards achieving the goal of separate Telangana has been momentous and there have been a number of milestones in the saga.
