The ruling TRS leaders have organised philanthropic and other activities on a large scale over the last few days on the occasion of Rao’s birthday.

On the occasion of the CM’s birthday, Telugu actor Nagarjuna adopted 1,080 acres of forest land on the city outskirts and laid the foundation stone for an Urban Forest Park named after his late father and veteran Telugu actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao.

The adoption was done with the inspiration of ‘Green India Challenge’ initiated by TRS Rajya Sabha member J Santosh Kumar, a nephew of the CM, a release said.

Meanwhile, the Congress in Telangana claimed that its president and MP A Revanth Reddy was taken into custody by police, while other party leaders were restrained from going ahead with planned protests demanding that the government issue notification, on the occasion of KCR’s birthday, for filling up job vacancies.
