Arya said the camp was organised as a part of the commitment to collect blood for the Garhwa blood bank to help it cope with the shortage of blood. He said when it came to his knowledge that only four units of blood were stored in blood bank then he took a decision himself that a blood donation camp has to be organised in the camp.
