Former India captain Sachin Tendulkar on Monday donated blood to mark the ‘World Blood Donor Day’.

The legendary former batsman also urged citizens to come forward and take part in voluntary blood donation.

“We all have the power to save a life. Let’s use it,” he tweeted.

Tendulkar, who went for the blood donation along with his team, highlighted the value of blood in treating many medical conditions, and how the timely availability of safe blood for transfusion plays a vital role in saving human lives.

In a video posted on his social media handles, Tendulkar also spoke about his personal experience of a close relative in need of blood a few months back.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
