Which edition of Hyderabad Liberation Day was celebrated at Parade Ground, Secunderabad, on 17 September 2026?
- A.75th
- B.77th
- C.78th
- D.79th
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the 79th edition. The Vice-President took part as chief guest at Parade Ground in Secunderabad, Telangana, where he inspected the parade, laid a wreath at the War Memorial and watched the March Past along with cultural performances. Options A, B and C are wrong because they name earlier editions of the same observance and are placed here because an edition number is exactly the kind of detail candidates carry over from a previous year's notes. The anchor fact is that the merger took place on 17 September 1948, so the edition number rises by one every year; working from that base date is safer in the examination hall than trying to recall the number itself. The Vice-President was the chief guest at this year’s parade.
