Hyderabad: The annual southern sojourn of President Ram Nath Kovind at Hyderabad has been cancelled.
“The President was to come to Hyderabad on December 29th and spend four days here till January 3. However, it was cancelled this year. Possibly due to the Omicron outbreak,” a source from the city police said.
The President visits Hyderabad and stays at Rashtrapati Nilayam at Bolaram in the Secunderabad Cantonment. Rashtrapati Bhavan had earlier communicated the President's tour programme, and the state government had made arrangements at RP Nilayam, including cleaning up the place.
Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar had earlier held a meeting with officials of various departments on the arrangements to be made for the President. Kovind’s five-year term ends in July 2022.
