Telangana floods: Prabhas announces a donation of Rs 1.5 crore for relief efforts

Actor Prabhas on Tuesday announced a donation of Rs 1.5 crore for relief efforts in flood-hit Telangana. As many as 70 people have died in rain-related incidents during the past one week in the state, Telangana Minister KT Rama Rao said. Actor Ravi Teja also made a contribution of Rs. 10 lakh towards CM Relief Fund.

The minister said Hyderabad received the second-highest recorded rainfall after 1908, which forced the state government to relocate about 37,000 people from low-lying areas to relief camps.

Meanwhile, apart from Prabhas, veteran Tollywood actor Nagarjuna donated Rs. 50 lakh, Tollywood megastar Chiranjeevi donated ₹1 crore as a contribution to the relief fund. In addition to him, superstar Mahesh Babu also donated ₹1 crore while Jr NTR donated ₹50 Lakhs to the Telangana CM Relief Fund. 

In light of the current situation in Telangana, I would like to contribute 10 lakh towards the CM Relief Fund and I urge everyone to come forward and help our people emerge stronger from this unprecedented crisis. 🙏@TelanganaCMO @KTRTRS
