Hundreds of people thronged PVNR Marg on Monday evening, braving weekday schedules, to witness a dazzling drone and laser show that marked the conclusion of Praja Palana Vijayotsavalu, celebrating one-year of Congress rule in Telangana. The event culminated with a minutes-long fireworks display lighting up the Hussainsagar skies that could be seen from Khairatabad, Hyderguda, Ranigunj and other parts of the city surrounding the lake.

The drone show began moments after Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy concluded his public address at the unveiling of the Telangana Talli statue. Smartphone-wielding spectators captured the mesmerising display as it unfolded.
The drone show opened with a clear portrayal of a farmer, symbolising Telangana’s agricultural community, which has benefitted from the government’s ₹500-per-quintal bonus for paddy and waived crop loans. Next, drones formed the shape of a TGSRTC bus, representing the Mahalakshmi Scheme that offers free bus service for women.
Other visuals created using the drones included a glowing light bulb, illustrating the provision of 200 units of free electricity, and the iconic figure of Indira Gandhi, symbolising the Indira Mahila Shakti Scheme. A notable highlight was the display of the government’s expanded Rajiv Aarogyasri health coverage, increased from ₹5 lakh to ₹10 lakh.

“We had a reverse view of the drone show, but it was peaceful, and we were at a height, which gave us a great view,” said Shanti, who attended the event with her two children.
