Blood donation is the noblest donation in the world. Every donation is critical and you can make a lifesaving difference, said Minister for Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs, Transport, Tourism Sushanta Chowdhury while speaking in a blood donation camp organized by ONGC Employees’ Union of Tripura on the occasion of their 1st Biennial Conference-2023 at ONGC Auditorium Hall on Saturday.

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. It is possible to save a dead person’s life by donating blood by our willingness. 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, Sushanta 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. Donating blood should become a habit for the mass as blood can save lives. Sometimes, we come across many patients who pass away due to insufficient blood in the hospitals or the Blood Bank but the regular initiatives of the people may save lives, he added.

A total of 150 people have donated blood in the blood donation camp.

Mayor of Agartala Municipal Corporation Dipak Majumder, Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) State President Rajib Bhattacharjee, MLA Meena Rani Sarkar, MLA Rampad Jamatia, ONGC Executive Director/Asset Manager Tarun Malik and other dignitaries were present.
