On 7th October 2015 members of facebook group “Durgapur Adda” organised “Blood Donation” camp.
This very date was chosen for blood donation because Durgapur news portal www.durgapuradda.com published its first news on 7th October 2011 and the facebook group ‘Durgapur Adda’ was formed as an extension of this news portal so as to use the social media platform for spreading Durgapur news.
As many as 30 Durgapur Adda facebook group members volunteered to donate blood, which was collected by Durgapur Sub Divisional Hospital blood bank. And the most satisfying fact was that 14 of those who donated blood were female members of Durgapur Adda.
Mr. AmitavaMaity, the the ADCP of theAsansol Durgapur Police Commissionerate was the chief guest on the occasion.
The ‘Blood Donation’ camp was organised at DeshbandhuBhavan in B-Zone of Durgapur Steel Township.
The kind of enthusiasm and commitment shown by the members was indeed a revelation of the fact that in days to come, Durgapur Adda would be able to strive harder for making the world a better place to live in.
