Actor Prabhas has come forward to adopt 1,650 acres of Khazipally reserve forest in the outskirts of Hyderabad. He has also donated a sum of £200,000 to forest officials for the overall development of the forest.
Prabhas, along with Telangana Forest Minister Allola Indra Karan Reddy and Rajya Sabha MP Joginapally Santosh Kumar laid the foundation stone for an urban forest park. They observed the reserve forest from a temporary watch tower and later planted few saplings in the reserve forest region.
