Poonch,DD, To commemorate 25 years of its raising, F Company Kotli COB of 155 Infantry Battalion Territorial Army (JAK RIF) organised a blood donation drive in collaboration with the Department of Blood Transfusion, GMC Rajouri, and J&K Blood Donors Welfare Society.
During the camp, soldiers voluntarily donated 38 units of blood, which will be primarily utilized for Thalassemia patients, who require frequent transfusions for survival.
The Indian Army has consistently taken the lead in fostering civil-military cooperation and creating awareness about social issues. Officers said such initiatives not only strengthen the bond between the Army and civilians but also bring hope to those in need of critical healthcare support.
The blood donation camp was hailed as a noble gesture that will go a long way in easing the suffering of patients dependent on regular transfusions,DD
