City NGO organises blood donation camp to celebrate Deep Sidhu’s b’day
Description
Ludhiana: A city-based NGO held a blood donation camp on Friday, to celebrate the birthday of actor Deep Sidhu. Sidhu was arrested by Delhi Police in February for his alleged involvement in the hoisting of flag at Red Fort on the Republic day. Taranjit Singh of Model Town and president of NGO Bhai Kanhaiya Ji Mission Sewa Society, who organised the blood donation camp, said on the request of many young members they had organised the camp. He added that as youngsters of villages are there at Delhi borders, blood banks run by gurudwaras and colleges face shortage of blood. “So, we collected 100 units of blood, which we will be donating to two hospitals in Ludhiana. Any needy patient can take blood from us free of cost,” said the president of the NGO. “I have also written to Supreme Court and the central government to repeat the three contentious farm laws,” he added. The camp was attended by Mandeep Sidhu, brother of Deep Sidhu, as well. Mandeep thanked the organisers for holding the blood camp on the birthday of his brother and said such camps are being held at 63 places in the state. He added that they stand with farmers’ agitation. Mandeep did not comment on most questions about his brother.
