Samantha Ruth Prabhu backs protests against Kancha Gachibowli deforestation in Telangana
Hyderabad/IBNS: Indian actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who primarily works in Tamil and Telugu films, has backed the protests against the deforestation in the Kancha Gachibowli land of Telangana's capital city Hyderabad.
Samantha shared a Telangana Today report on her Instagram handle and requested the users to sign the petition to back the protests against the deforestation.
The headline of the report claims the deforestation will increase the temperature in Kancha Gachibowli from 1-4 degree celsius.
The online petition is against the state government's decision to auction 400 acres of land in Kancha Gachibowli.

The petition started by Kirti C, who stays next to the forest land, claims the deforestation will impact the rich biodiversity and cause negative effects on people's lives indirectly.
"Famed for its eco-diversity, Kancha Gachibowli, is not just a forest, but a green lung, a natural sink making significant contributions to the overall air quality and ameliorating climate change impacts.
"By absorbing vast amounts of carbon dioxide, forests are crucial in our fight against global warming," the petition has been quoted by Telangana Today.
The government has been cutting down trees to flatten the land ahead of the auction.
Meanwhile, the Centre has asked the state government to send a factual report on the decision to auction 400 acres of land.
