Lok Sabha passes Telangana Bill; Celebrations across state (pic)

Hyderabad, Feb 18: The passage of Telangana Bill in Lok Sabha today sparked celebrations across the ten districts of the region.

On the one hand where these celebrations are on the mark, Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, strongly espousing the cause for keeping the state united, appeared set to quit his post in protest.

Pro-integrationists denounced the move and seemed downcast as stage is now set for the creation of a separate state of Telangana once the Rajya Sabha also gives its nod.
