The event was held as a tribute to the supreme sacrifices of police martyrs who laid down their lives in the line of duty and to reaffirm the police force’s commitment to social service. The camps were also organized to extend support to patients suffering from Thalassemia, a hereditary blood disorder that requires regular transfusions.  Police officers, personnel, and citizens actively participated in large numbers and donated blood voluntarily.

Speaking on the occasion, Telangana State DGP, B. Shivdhar Reddy,  stated that similar blood donation camps were being held across the state in memory of the police martyrs. He remarked, “Donating blood is akin to giving life. People should recognize its importance and voluntarily donate blood at least two to four times a year. Every year, nearly 8,000 people lose their lives in road accidents in our state, and in many cases, timely availability of blood could have saved them.”

Recalling the service initiatives taken by Sri V.C. Sajjanar,  during the COVID-19 period as Commissioner of Police, Cyberabad, expressed happiness over the large-scale organization of such blood donation camps and congratulated all the donors.

Hyderabad City Police Commissioner, V.C. Sajjanar,  in his address, urged the youth to come forward voluntarily to donate blood and actively participate in awareness programs to prevent Thalassemia.
