Heroic Act of Blood Donation Saves Life in Tragic Accident

On February 24, 2024, a tragic accident occurred in Khowai, involving an auto-rickshaw and a rubber-stocked vehicle. This devastating collision resulted in the immediate death of one individual and left nine others with severe injuries. The critically injured were quickly transferred from Khowai Hospital to GB Hospital. Among them was Mr. Samir Debbarma, the auto-rickshaw driver, who sustained life-threatening injuries and required an urgent transfusion of A+ blood.

In a remarkable act of compassion and leadership, UTF’s president, Mr. Sajal Debbarma, stepped forward to donate his blood for the eighth time. His timely and selfless donation was crucial in saving Mr. Samir Debbarma’s life. This incident highlights the critical importance of blood donation.

Blood donation is a vital act that can save numerous lives. Regular donations ensure a stable blood supply for emergencies. Donors like Mr. Sajal Debbarma epitomize the spirit of community and humanity. Each donation can save up to three lives. Donors receive a mini health screening, which can help detect potential health issues early. Donating blood also stimulates the production of new blood cells and provides immense emotional satisfaction.

This tragic accident also serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety. We urge everyone to drive within speed limits, avoid distractions, maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, ensure their vehicles are in good condition and clearly indicate their intentions to other drivers.

The actions of Mr. Sajal Debbarma demonstrate the critical role that community involvement and preparedness play in saving lives. UTF encourages everyone to contribute to road safety and consider becoming regular blood donors to help save lives in emergencies.
