Tripura's Chief Minister (CM), Manik Saha, attended the World Blood Donor Day 2025 celebrations in Agartala, where he urged people to donate blood to save lives.

Speaking to ANI, Chief Minister Saha said, "We celebrate World Blood Donor Day every year in Tripura. This time, I saw that organisations and NGOs are setting up blood donation camps, and they were recognised for their efforts. Our main aim is to encourage people who might be hesitant to donate blood. Blood donation is a beneficial activity because it stimulates the formation of new blood cells, can help prevent heart and blood vessel problems, and can also help in diagnosing any underlying health issues. That's why individuals between the ages of 18 and 65 are encouraged to donate blood."

Appreciating the citizens, he added, "In Tripura, people readily come forward when blood is needed in blood banks. There's a history of this. So, those who don't usually donate blood should step forward. Just one unit of blood can save three lives. These days, blood cells and plasma can be separated according to what the patient needs."
