Agartala Feb 10: Tripura Electricity Corporation Limited employees on Saturday participated in a voluntary blood donation camp.

Inaugurating the camp at Agartala Press Club on Saturday, the Minister for Power, Ratan Lal Nath said that under the BJP-led government, Blood Donation has turned into a festival.

“Earlier, the state was reeling under an acute crisis of blood, many people had to breathe their last because of unavailability of blood. But now, responding to the call of the chief minister and the present government, many social organizations, government offices, and individuals are conducting blood donation camps. This has helped the state to achieve the minimum target of blood in the state blood banks”, said Ratan Lal Nath.

The Power Minister added, “It is a matter of pride for us that Tripura ranks in the top place in terms of blood donation among all other states in the country”.

“Other than performing professional duties people involved with various government offices must come forward in social responsibilities as well”, he said.

Quoting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s slogan of “Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas Sabka Prayas”, Nath said, “The goal of the BJP-led government is to ensure that the last person of the society is benefited with all sorts of government assistance. For that the minister or bureaucrats alone cannot achieve the goal of ‘overall development’ of the people. But concerted efforts of all can help in achieving the target”.

The minister further greeted the TSECL Finance and Other Employees Association for organizing the voluntary blood donation camp.
