It is a tradition for the President of India to visit Shimla in summer and Hyderabad in winter. However, due to COVID-19 pandemic, the President did not come to Hyderabad for the winter vacation for the last two years.

Telangana Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar held a high-level meeting last week to review the arrangements for the President's visit. He asked the officials to coordinate with the district authorities for taking steps to ensure that there were no grievances about the programmes attended by Murmu.
