Hyderabad Liberation Day being observed today

Hyderabad Liberation Day is being celebrated today to mark the historic accession of princely state of Hyderabad into the Indian Union. ‘Operation Polo’, as the famous “Police Action” was codenamed, brought down the curtains on an oppressive Nizam’s rule on this day in



1948.

However, several programmes are being lined up in Hyderabad and other parts of Telengana, which is a part of the then Hyderabad state. Union Home Minister Amit Shah will be addressing a public meeting on the occasion scheduled this afternoon at Nirmal town.
