Rachakonda Police Commissioner Mahesh Bhagwat urged youngsters to donate blood for Thalassemia patients during the pandemic.

“As mass Covid-19 vaccination is underway and blood donation is not accepted from people who have been vaccinated, a blood donation camp was organised well in advance to reserve blood for Thalassemia patients to tide over the crisis during the ongoing pandemic,” officials said.
