The Serampore Municipality chairman and TMC district president said that the thalassemia-affected children are within the larger family of the society. “It is the duty of all of us to take the initiative so that the affected children receive blood when required. More such blood donation camps should come up to meet the blood crisis and that no precious life should be lost for lack of blood. The initiative by Ranjit Dey to set up a blood donation camp for a greater cause is highly appreciable,” they said.
The parents of such children appreciated the initiative.
Mr Dey said, “I have come across pathetic circumstances. During acute blood crisis, the parents of the affected children run from pillar to post to procure blood. I preferred a blood donation camp specially for the thalassemia affected children.”
