    The Governor cut the cake and extended the new year greetings and wishes to the people at a special function held at the Darbar Hall of the Raj Bhavan. Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan extended the greetings to the people of Telangana for a healthy, happy, safe, and prosperous new year-2023.

    “Thanks to the massive vaccination campaign, the year 2022 has been a safe year and millions of deaths were prevented in the country with the effective vaccination. I hope, the 2023 too will be an equally safe and healthy year for the people of our country and
state,” she added. The Governor distributed sweet boxes to the media personnel and greeted them, while all the visitors, part of the unprecedented crowds, were served with sweets, snacks and tea.
