Engineering staff donate blood for unity

Srikakulam: Engineering staff of various departments organised blood donation camp on the occasion of Engineers’ Day here on Sunday in favour of Samaikyandhra. Hundreds of employees voluntarily participated in the camp organised by local Red Cross Society.

Employees of Srikakulam Panchayati Raj, Vamsadhara Project and Housing Development departments donated blood. Engineers’ Day was celebrated grandly at the local Collectorate. The 153rd Jayanthi of Father of Engineering Mokshagundem Visweswaraya was also celebrated on the occasion.

On this occasion, speakers said that they were prepared to shed blood for keeping the State united. Officials lauded the exemplary act of donating blood by the engineers. Some 200 people donated blood on the occasion. Meanwhile, people belonging to Reddy Association took out a rally here on Sunday. They raised slogans like ‘Jai Samaikyandhra’. Later, they formed a human chain near the Seven Roads Junction. Who gave the right to the CWC to divide the State in this manner, they questioned.

A lesson will be taught to those who go against the feelings of five crore population, however powerful they might be, they said.
