The Telangana Governor’s official residence has been renamed from Raj Bhavan to Lok Bhavan, following recommendations from last year’s Governors’ conference and a directive from the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Hyderabad: The Telangana Governor‘s official residence will henceforth be called as ‘Lok Bhavan, Telangana’.

Following recommendations made during the conference of Governors last year and a Ministry of Home Affairs communication, the name of ‘Raj Bhavan’ has been officially changed to ‘Lok Bhavan’.
