Walkers concerned over ‘Hyderabad Liberation Day’ event at Public Garden

As preparations are in full swing for Hyderabad Liberation Day celebrations at the Public Garden in Hyderabad, morning walkers have raised concerns over the environmental effect of the programme.

People who are regular visitors to the Public Garden demand that the government should look for alternatives to conduct the



function.

In March 2024, the Union government announced that it will celebrate September 17 every year as ‘Hyderabad Liberation Day’. In a notification, the Union Home Ministry said Hyderabad did not get independence for 13 months after India’s independence on August 15, 1947, and was under the rule of the Nizams.
