Randeep Hooda's Twitter timeline is quite informational. He likes to put up what he believes in very strongly especially nature and animal welfare posts. Recently, a lot of news stories have been doing the rounds of the internet regarding Uttarakhand forest fires. Quelling people's panic, the actor gave a detailed report of how such a phenomenon is natural in Uttarakhand. He even provided graphs to support his point. Yet people decided to spread the fake images of the incident claiming the fire is raging on. That too even after PIB Uttarakhand and CM Trivendra Singh Rawat dismissed the images. Randeep again called out a Twitter user and the CM thanked him for his support. Randeep Hooda on Not Watching Akshay Kumar’s Kesari: ‘It Didn’t Excite Me Much’

And this is what PIB in Uttarakhand said,
चीन और चिली के जंगलों मे लगी आग एवं वर्ष २०१६ और २०१९ की वनाग्नि की पुरानी तस्वीरों के माध्यम से उत्तराखंड के खिलाफ एक भ्रामक और सत्य से परे दुष्प्रचार चल रहा है; कृपया ऐसी अफवाहों पर ध्यान न दें और ऐसी भ्रामक खबरों से सावधान रहें| https://t.co/SY5eigG4QC
