Srinagar: A CRPF man helped save the life of a 3-year-old Kashmiri boy, suffering from blood loss, as he donated his blood after being informed by the ‘Madadgaar’ helpline of the force working in the Valley, officials said on Wednesday.
They said the parents of the child had approached the Srinagar District Magistrate for help. Subsequently, he tagged the request on Twitter, which was immediately reciprocated.
The boy from Shopian was admitted at GB Pant Hospital here and Constable Vikas Sharma of the Central Reserve Police Force’s 75th battalion donated one unit of blood for the child, they said.
“The Madadgaar helpline of the CRPF has made it a point that every instance of distress call is not only responded but is done positively,” a senior official said. — PTI
