CM: Donate towards Red Cross Fund

Shimla, May 8
Various events to create awareness among people were organised across the state to mark World Red Cross Day today.
Chief Minister PK Dhumal appealed to all sections of society to come forward and donate towards the Red Cross Fund, which was being utilised to extend the financial assistance to the poor, at a state-level function held at his official residence “Oakover”.
He said the Red Cross was a global NGO set up during the World War to extend emergency medical services to the wounded soldiers and civilians.
Dhumal said such donations met the health needs of the most deserving poor and helped them lead a better life. He underlined the need to make the Red Cross a mass movement.
