Special thanks were given to everyone who voluntarily came to the camps and donated blood as per the call of TSRTC.

Sajjanar said that as a social responsibility, the organisation’s staff and youth come forward and donate blood and become lifesavers.

“Blood is the most urgent need of the injured in accidents. Many people were dying due to lack of blood. The blood donated by 3,315 people will save many lives,” said TSRTC Chairman, MLA Bajireddy Govardhan.

People from all walks of life donated blood from distant places very generously. It is remarkable that the youth also came forward and participated in this camp and donated blood.
