A major blood donation camp organized on Saturday by the Rotary Club of Agartala, in collaboration with NER II Transmission Limited, emerged as a significant humanitarian success, reinforcing the importance of voluntary blood donation in saving lives across Tripura and the Northeast region.
The camp was held at P K Bari, Kumarghat, located approximately 160 kilometers from Agartala, and received an enthusiastic response from employees, security personnel, and local residents.
