Hyderabad: The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government will impress upon the Centre to declare the Medaram Jathara of Sammakka and Saralakka as a national event on par with the Kumbh Mela. Disclosing this in the Telangana Assembly, Minister for Finance Eatala Rajender, in a reply to a question on Monday, said the Medaram Jathara was one of the biggest events of the tribals and girijans in the world.
