On Sunday, the Milad Committee Moinabad organised a blood donation camp at ABK Function Hall with around 500 people participating, which was held to help thalassaemia and cancer patients.

Another blood donation camp was organised by the Milad Committee Pargi at Qutb Shahi Jama Masjid in Pargi, Vikarabad district. The organisers said the camp was being held for the fifth consecutive year.

More blood donation camps are planned in the coming days. The Forum for Cultural Upgradation and Social Service (FOCUS) will organise a camp at Asafia Library, Afzalgunj, and another camp will be held at Prime Function Halls, New Mallepally, by Congress leader Osman Mohammed Khan.

Maulana Ahsan Al Hamoomi, Khateeb of Shahi Masjid, Bagh-e-Aam, has urged people to come forward and donate blood for those who require it regularly.

Meanwhile, Maulana Hafiz Rizwan Qureshi, khateeb of Mecca Masjid, appealed to youngsters to avoid causing inconvenience to the public during Milad un Nabi processions. He urged them to maintain discipline on roads, refrain from rash driving and ensure that celebrations do not disturb others.

“There are many positive ways to mark the occasion. People should devote more time to prayers and extend help to those in need,” he advised.
