73 units of blood donated

The Sunil Upadhyay Educational Trust organised a blood donation camp at HPU, in which 73 units were collected. Trust secretary Surender Sharma said they had urged the youth to donate blood before going for vaccination, as they would not be able to do so for a while after taking the jab. He further said students and others showed a lot of enthusiasm, and followed the SOPs during the camp.
