Blood Dedicated to Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Patients
Ranchi: The Central Naujawan Committee, Siladon-Tupudana, organised its first-ever blood donation camp at Das Mile Chowk in Siladon on Sunday, collecting 28 units of blood. A significant number of the donors were first-time blood donors.
The camp was organised as part of programmes marking the arrival of Prophet Muhammad and on an appeal by ‘Lahu Bolega’, a Ranchi-based blood donation organisation. The collected blood was dedicated to the Ranchi Sadar Hospital Blood Bank for supporting children suffering from thalassemia and sickle cell anaemia.
Guests attending the programme were honoured by ‘Lahu Bolega’ with traditional shawls, key rings and blood donation appeal leaflets. Vakil Ansari, president of the Central Naujawan Committee and a blood donor activist, was also honoured with a medal and a traditional shawl for his key role in organising the camp.
Advocate Father Mahendra Peter Tigga was the chief guest, while Sagar Kumar attended as the guest of honour. Among those present were ‘Lahu Bolega’ blood donation activist Nadeem Khan, Er. Shahnawaz Abbas, Zilla Parishad member Kalyan Linda, JMM leader Rizwan Krantikari, senior social worker and Congress leader Ali Imam Parvez, former mukhiya and village head Ram Bando of Das Mile, Dongri Panchayat Mukhiya Jita Kachhap, Hardag Panchayat Mukhiya Neelmani Tirkey, Sodag Panchayat Mukhiya Patras Tirkey, Panchayat Samiti member Mangra Kachhap, Zilla Parishad member Sajjad Ansari, Siladon Anjuman president Israel Ansari, Congress leader and Anjuman secretary Zafar Imam, and Tupudana Vyapar Manch president Pradeep Jaiswal, besides several social and political workers.
Vakil Ansari and committee secretary Sarwar Ansari said that blood donation was an important form of humanitarian service. Children suffering from thalassemia and sickle cell anaemia require regular blood transfusions, they said, adding that more such camps would be organised in the future to ensure timely availability of blood to patients in need.
Haseeb Ansari, Aslam Ansari, Shahid Ansari, Qudrat Ansari, Faizal Ansari, Mokhtar Khan and Majid Mama were among those present at the camp.
