Amid blood shortage in Mumbai banks, Shiv Sena corporator offers ‘Paneer’ and ‘Chicken’ for donors


Amid reports of blood shortage in blood banks in Mumbai, a Shiv Sena corporator has adopted a unique way to lure people to donate blood at a donation camp to be held on December 13. The camp will be organized Rajabhau Salvi Ground in New Prabhadevi in partnership with the KEM hospital. 

 

Corporator Samadhan Sarvankar, son of Shiv Sena leader Sada Sarvankar, has put up posters saying that people who would donate blood at the camp will be given a kg of either chicken or paneer to help boost their immunity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Needless to say, the posters have gone viral on social media.

 

The idea of distributing chicken and paneer struck me when I read on the World Health Organisation’s website that poultry and dairy products are a good source of protein and vitamins, besides being immunity boosters. Keeping in mind the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, I decided to give all blood donors chicken or paneer as per their preference, News18 quoted the corporator.

 

Earlier this month, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray had appealed citizens of his state to donate blood voluntarily amid the severe shortages faced by blood banks during the pandemic. The colleges, which are an important source of blood collection, are closed due to pandemic. There are also problems in blood collection due to work from home implemented by many big corporate houses, who used to collect it in large volumes before the pandemic, Thackeray said.

 

The blood donation camp by Sarvankar will be held between 10 am to 2 pm and the ones who are willing to donate will have to register before December 11. Donors must be between 18 and 50 years of age.
