In the wake of this tragedy, several celebrities and film industry professionals have stepped up to provide financial support for relief efforts. Among them, popular South Indian actor Jr NTR has made a generous contribution, donating ₹1 crore to aid the flood victims.
Jr NTR’s Generous Contribution
Jr NTR has donated ₹50 lakh each to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, making a total of ₹1 crore. In his heartfelt message, the actor expressed his prayers for the victims and encouraged them to stay strong during these challenging times. His donation is a significant contribution towards relief efforts, which are being carried out by multiple agencies, including 26 teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF).

The production house behind the film shared a heartfelt note on social media, expressing solidarity with the flood victims and encouraging others to contribute.
Flood Situation Worsens, Relief Efforts Intensify
The situation in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana remains critical, with heavy rains continuing to create flood-like conditions.

Tragically, a landslide in Mogalrajpuram, Andhra Pradesh, claimed the lives of five people, highlighting the dire need for continued support and assistance.
Government and Community Efforts
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has announced compensation of ₹5 lakh each for the families of those who lost their lives in the floods.
