Actor Prabhas today announced a donation of Rs1 crore to the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister’s Relief Fund to aid those affected by the heavy rains in several parts of the south-eastern state.
Over the course of the past two weeks, several parts of Andhra Pradesh have been badly hit by rains and resultant floods. The state has been reeling under heavy rain for the second time in a short span of time.
An official press note confirmed that Prabhas had contributed Rs1 crore towards the relief fund.
Last week, Telugu stars Chiranjeevi, Jr NTR and Mahesh Babu contributed Rs25 lakh each to the fund.
In the past few weeks, due to a depression over the Bay of Bengal, heavy rains have been triggered in parts of south coastal Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema, leaving at least 40 people dead.
