Hyderabad: Telangana Tourism will hoist the national flag at all tourism destinations across the State as part of the Swathantra Bharatha Vajrotsavalu to be held from August 8 to 22.
Tourism Minister V Srinivas Goud directed the department officials to organise special programmes to draw visitors at the tourist spots. He held a review meeting with tourism, sports and cultural department officials here on Monday to finalise the action plan for the celebrations. All the tourist spots, historic and heritage monuments across the State should be illuminated with attractive lighting, he said.
The Cultural Department will organise special programmes during the 15-day celebrations, as part of which dance, drama, music, art and Kavi Sammelan — depicting patriotism and national integration — should be conducted at Ravindra Bharathi, the Minister said.
The Sports Department was instructed to conduct sports events at the mandal-, district- and State-level to motivate youth to make a career in sports, he said.

Chhatriwali Movie Review: Rakul Preet Singh’s film is informative but lags in bits
I could never wrap my head around Bollywood’s obsession with continuously addressing condom as a chhatri or an umbrella. Not only it’s cringe to hear repeatedly but also, it somewhere defeats the whole purpose with which films around these subjects are made. Moreover, picking a taboo subject and making a film on it can turn out to be quite risky if you don’t stick to the agenda and beat around the bush. Thankfully, Rakul Preet Singh’s Chhatriwali, directed by Tejas Prabhaa Vijay Deoskar, doesn’t digress much, and follows a crisp screenplay. There are some flaws here and there, but with all the humour and lighter moments, they can be somewhat overlooked.
