Chhatrapati Sambhajiangar: The free health check and blood donation camp organised to commemorate the birth anniversary of the veteran freedom fighter and founder of Lokmat late Jawaharlal Darda (Babuji) on Tuesday, drew an overwhelming response.

Many donors came forward to donate blood for needy patients and save their lives. The camp which was inaugurated after paying homage to late Jawaharlal Darda and lighting the traditional lamps, was hosted at Lokmat Hall in Lokmat Bhavan, between 9 am and 5 pm, today.

Hence with this sense of responsibility, the Lokmat family has taken the initiative to propagate the message - ‘Make blood donation a campaign; donate blood and save a patient's life’ - to the public.

Under the tagline ‘Lokmat Raktache Nate Japu Ya’ (Lokmat Preserve the Bond of Blood), people were urged to participate in the campaign.
