Karwar: To commemorate 41st anniversary of Indian Coast Guard, a blood donation camp was held in association with Karwar Institute of Medical Sciences at Indian Coast Guard Station office.

Commandant M K Sharma, commanding officer ICGS Karwar and Dr Rijwan, Medical Officer KIMS, Karwar jointly inaugurated the event. Dr Rijwan said many people have misunderstandings about blood donation, they feel by donating blood they will fall sick. The donated blood will automatically regenerate by our body itself four to five hours. Coast Guard personnel actively donated blood and about 30 personnel volunteered for this humane cause.
