The spirit of altruism displayed by our citizens has been truly commendable," Mayor Majumder remarked.
He further emphasized the pivotal role of individual contributions in alleviating shortages, asserting, "The act of donating blood is not merely a charitable gesture but a lifesaving endeavor. With each donation, we have the power to potentially save up to four lives. It's heartening to witness the growing enthusiasm among our populace towards this noble cause."
Mayor Majumder actively participated in the blood donation camp, underscoring the importance of leading by example and encouraging prospective donors. The overwhelming turnout of donors at the camp underscored the community's unwavering commitment to addressing critical healthcare needs.
