On the occasion, over 300 blood donors participated in the camp.

Encouraging the donors, Vij said that blood donation gives immense satisfaction to the donors as they help in saving precious lives.

The Haryana State Lab Technicians Welfare Association has been demanding a Council for the welfare of the lab technicians at par with other cadres of the Health Department.

It has been demanded that all the laboratories working in private and the government sector should be under this council, so that a check could be made on the functioning of these laboratories.

The Association has also criticised the government move that only MBBS doctor would sign the report saying that all the lab technicians should be given power to sign the report made by them.
