Hoshiarpur / Daljeet Ajnoha/May 1 : On the occasion of World Labour Day, a blood donation camp was organized by BDC Blood Centre in collaboration with the Indian Society of Blood Transfusion and Immunohaematology (ISBTI), Punjab Chapter. A total of 22 individuals voluntarily donated blood at the camp.
The camp was inaugurated by Sandeep Kumar, President of Divyang Social Association, Hoshiarpur, who led by example by donating blood himself.
