17 volunteers donated blood on the first day. According to DESAM assistant secretary M Somorjit, the blood donation camp is being organised annually in April in remembrance of the forefathers who bravely fought against the British and sacrificed their lives to save the land and not be under anyone.
Maintaining that the state still faces shortages of blood, he stressed on the need for donating blood voluntarily, adding nothing can substitute blood.
He also appealed to the state to set up a blood bank at Jiribam, stating the people of the district are still facing lots of hardships due to the non availability of a blood bank.
