Agartala/ Kailashahar, Nov 26: Kailashahar Blood Donors’ Association is all set to take legal steps against the agents engaged in blood at Unakoti district hospital premises.

There has been an allegation on black-marketing of blood and taking large amounts of money from the people in need. According to sources, one Shamim is running the entire racket.

The agents roam around the hospital and if any patient needs blood, they take Rs. 1000 to Rs. 10,000 for arranging the blood.

The Kailashahar Blood Donors’ Association was reconstituted two months ago. The new body is extending helping hands to the people in need of blood and arranging around 6/7 units of blood everyday on an average.

According to Anupam Paul, president of the Kailashahar Blood Donors’ Association, the matter would soon be taken up with the administration for legal action. 

He said, the association would continue to arrange voluntary blood donation camps and work for the people in the days to come.
