Agartala, Mar 21: Most of the Hospitals in the State are facing acute blood crises for the last few months. Patients, especially in rural areas are suffering a lot owing to empty blood banks. Voluntary blood donation is the main source of blood for the blood banks – however, such camps could not be organized in adequate numbers owing to Assembly Polls.

Now, that the polls are over and the new Government has taken charge, emphasis has been laid on organizing blood donation camps across the State. Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha appealed to all to come forward and donate blood to overcome the crisis.

Accordingly, several organizations including Government employees are conducting such camps to collect blood and mitigate the crisis.

On Tuesday, Yuva Morcha Sadar (Town) organized a blood donation camp in its election office at Agartala. The Chief Minister inaugurated the camp and encouraged the volunteers.

Meantime, in other parts of the State also different organizations held blood donation camps in respective areas today.
