Chief Minister Professor (Dr) Manik Saha reiterated Government’s commitment to work for the welfare of every community, leaving no one behind in the State.

Addressing a blood donation camp organized on the occasion of 26th death anniversary of late Makhan Lal Saha father of Chief Minister Professor (Dr) Manik Saha the Chief Minister said his priority is to provide a “corruption free, dynamic and transparent” government in the state. It is also our objective to provide a corruption free, dynamic and transparent government in Tripura so that the fruits of developments reach the grassroot level, he added.

Chief Minister Dr. Saha while remembering his father said, Makhanlal Saha was a very pious person. He used to recite Chandipath regularly. Even then he provided employment to many people. Late Makhan lal Saha never compromised on anything when it came to living an honest life, he added.

“Though science and technology have developed to a great extent, no person has succeeded in finding an alternative or a substitute for blood. Hence, the blood is very precious,” opined Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha.

Chief minister Dr. Manik Saha said, responding to my appeal, various clubs, social organizations & others have come forward for organizing blood donation camps over the past few months. It reflects the commitment of the people towards social responsibilities, he added.

Standing beside a person in trouble and extending a helping hand is an ideal person. Hundreds of people are losing in the battle of life for a drop of blood every moment, we do not want this in any way. We can save many lives by donating blood. Though many impossible things happen in modern medical science but blood has not been discovered yet. As a result, the patients who need excess blood for some reason, that blood has to be collected from the body of a healthy person. This is why blood donation is considered a great donation, Dr. Saha said.

One person can help another by donating blood. Therefore, people should come up and donate their blood so that the needy person can be cured. There is no alternative of blood. He appealed to donate blood as much as possible as there is no substitute for human blood.

We can segregate blood components these days and one unit is used to save lives. Many a time blood is not easily available to people in emergency situations. People need to understand the importance of blood donation and there is no harm in donating it. Donation is the lone source of blood. So, to save life, blood needs to be donated, he added.

Late Makhan lal Saha’s wife and Chief Minister Professor (Dr.) Manik Saha’s mother Suryabala Saha, Mayor of Agartala Municipal Corporation Dipak Majumder  and others were present.
