The Telangana High Court directed the KCR-led Government to conduct the Republic Day celebrations in the state. The High Court issued an interim order on Wednesday and  made it clear that the celebrations must be held by the Government officially. A Bench headed by Justice P Madhavi Devi in her observations rapped the State Government for using COVID-19 as an excuse to not conduct the event. The state had initially scrapped the customary parade for a second year citing Covid.
