Riteish Deshmukh has donated Rs 25 lakh to Jalyukta Latur as his contribution towards drought relief.
Jalyukta Latur is an initiative started by people's participation to make Latur water sufficient, who have taken up work of desilting the Manjra River which provides water to the area. The work involves includes Deepening and widening up the site to 80 m across a 18 km stretch. This will help to contain the rain water and it will be made available throughout the year.
Riteish visited the site and was impressed by the work done by 'Jalyukta Latur' and decided to contribute towards this cause.
One of the visitors on site even asked him for his thoughts, since he is from Latur, if he would agree to be the face of this campaign. To this, Riteish readily agreed to extend his support.
