Oct. 20: Bollywood star Salman Khan, who had earned the wrath of the Bishnoi community when he landed in trouble in a black buck poaching case in Jodhpur, has now become part of the Green Rajasthan drive. He has planted 21,000 saplings at Jawai Dam in Rajasthan Pali district.

Salman Khan, along with tourism minister Bina Kak and other officials, led the campaign at Jawai Dam on Tuesday and appealed to people to make Rajasthan green. "I like Rajasthan and used to visit the desert land. Kabhi khud shooting ke liye aata hoon, kabhi bulaya jata hoon," he told the media.

Jawai Dam is the biggest dam in western Rajasthan with a capacity of 6,000 million cubic feet of water.

Salman reached Sumerpur town on Monday at the invitation of tourism minister Kak, who represents Sumerpur in the Assembly.
