In a compassionate display of solidarity, the personnel of Veng Battalion donated five units of blood to a critically ill patient at the District Hospital in Churachandpur. The patient, a 47-year-old male from S Khomunum village, was admitted with severe health concerns, including hypertension, chronic kidney disease, abdominal pain, and elevated liver enzymes. Upon evaluation, medical staff discovered he was severely anaemic, with dangerously low haemoglobin levels necessitating an immediate blood transfusion, as reported by IGAR(S).
In response to an emergency call from the hospital, five members of the Veng Battalion promptly volunteered to donate blood. Their swift action was crucial in facilitating an urgent transfusion, which played a key role in stabilizing the patient’s condition during this critical time. Hospital staff and the patient’s family expressed deep gratitude for the altruistic gesture, noting that the blood donation by the Assam Rifles personnel was instrumental in saving the patient’s life.
This act of humanity exemplifies the ongoing commitment of the Assam Rifles to improve the welfare of the community, demonstrating their readiness to support local individuals in times of urgent need, extending their responsibilities beyond conventional operational duties.
