Vitla: Although India has a gargantuan population, people still shy away from donating blood. To create awareness amongst people about blood donation, the donors were given petrol instead of juice.
A blood donation camp was organized by Bantwal taluk light and sound dealers’ union Vittal zone, Mangalapadavu Ideal Fuels, Vittal Lions Club, and Mangaluru KMC Hospital at the government school, Okkettoor on Sunday, April 4, and the blood donors were given coupons at the spot.
Those who received the coupons went to the Ideal petrol bunk to get fuel for their vehicles.
Speaking with this regard District president of Light and Sound Dealers Union, Rakjashekhara Shetty, said that hospitals are facing a shortage of blood during the post-corona period and demand outweighs supply.
He further that petrol or diesel was offered to the first 50 donors to encourage more people to donate blood.
