He said even as the Team Jammu is trying its best to ensure that blood may be arranged for every needy patient, the volunteers are facing difficulties to approach the needy because of lockdown and COVID-19 threat.
“In such a situation, the Health Department must come forward and facilitate the donors by approaching them at their door steps for collecting blood,” he said and urged the Lt Governor G C Murmu and Financial Commissioner Health, Atal Dulloo to issue necessary directions in this regard.
It is pertinent to mention that ever since the lockdown was enforced, Team Jammu volunteers have been distributing dry ration among the needy families across Jammu, besides installing some containers of homemade sanitizers near banks and ATMS for fighting COVID -19.
“Team Jammu will leave no stone unturned to serve the society, particularly at the time of present crisis when entire world is fighting against COVID-19 pandemic. I wish youth come forward and join hands with Team Jammu for the cause of serving society” Zorawar said.
