The Indian Red Cross Society, OdishaState Branch seems to have been facing difficult times since the year 2009.
It is evident from the fact that various services like ambulance and Nirvana Seva and various projects of it have been stopped. Besides, the monthly and the annual meetings have not been held since then. Now, its website has started putting erroneous data regarding its functioning.
“Ambulance service and Nirvana Seva have been stopped for the last two years and the telephone number 102, which was meant for these two services, has been withdrawn for the last five years. Besides, the logo and the name Red Cross have been taken out from 55 blood banks run by it across the State. But the website claims that the State Red Cross is operating 57 blood banks and providing ambulance and Nirbana services,” alleged Red Cross State Branch Protection Committee, Odisha convenor Dillip Dashsharma.
Dashsharma demanded that the authorities either put accurate data on the website or provide services as per the information being showed on the website.
