In Warangal, Telangana, a banner put up by the Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation (GWMC) has sparked controversy. The banner, which was displayed at the GWMC head office for a Layout Regularisation Scheme (LRS) help desk, used an unofficial State emblem. This emblem left out important symbols like the Kakatiya Kala Thoranam and the Charminar, which are significant to the state’s cultural heritage.
KT Rama Rao, also known as KTR, who is the working president of the BRS party, expressed his displeasure over this mistake. He took to social media to voice his concerns and demanded immediate action against those responsible for the error. KTR questioned whether the Chief Secretary of Telangana was aware of the issue and whether the change in the emblem was an official decision or just a mistake.
KTR posted on his X account, asking, “Is this an official decision or an unofficial oversight? Does the Chief Secretary even know what’s going on? Who approved this new symbol and when? Why did the authorities use it if it wasn’t approved? I demand to find out who is responsible for this and take action against them.”
This incident has raised concerns about how official symbols are used by government bodies, especially when they hold significant cultural value for the state. Many people are now calling for stricter checks to ensure such mistakes do not happen again.
