Hyderabad, Jun 29 (PTI) Union Home Minister Amit Shah would inaugurate the National Headquarters of Turmeric Board in Nizamabad on June 29.

Union Coal and Mines Minister G Kishan Reddy called the establishment of the board a historic milestone for turmeric farmers across the country and a proud moment for Telangana.

"Inspected the ground preparations in Nizamabad, Telangana for the grand Kisan Sabha scheduled on 29th June, where Hon’ble Union Home Minister Shri @AmitShah Ji will inaugurate the National Headquarters of the Turmeric Board," Kishan Reddy, also president of BJP in Telangana, said in a post on X.
