Nagarjuna donates ₹50 lakhs to Telangana CM Relief Fund to support flood-hit families

A couple of days ago, Telangana's Hyderabad city was hit by massive rainfall which led to major devastation across the city. Over 50 people are said to have lost their lives because of the floods that swept away vehicles as well as several colonies. While the capital city of Telangana deals with a major crisis, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) announced a package of ₹550 crores for the lives affected due to Hyderabad floods. 

Soon after KCR announced the Telangana CM Relief Fund, several celebrities of the South Indian film industry extended their support by donating huge amounts to the relief fund. To support the government of Hyderabad in helping out as many flood-hit families as they can, celebrities including Chiranjeevi Konidela, Mahesh Babu, Jr NTR and Vijay Deverakonda have lent a helping hand to the CM. Now, joining the bandwagon is veteran Tollywood actor Nagarjuna.
