The Andhra Pradesh state event, meant to celebrate one year of TDP-led government, is canceled due to an Air India crash in Ahmedabad, which killed many. Initially postponed, all related activities, including regional workshops, by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, are also halted in response.

The Andhra Pradesh state function titled 'Suparipalana-Swarnandhra Pradesh' was canceled following an Air India crash in Ahmedabad, officials announced. The event intended to commemorate the first year of the TDP-led government.

Originally planned for Thursday evening, the function was first postponed but later canceled in light of the tragedy.
