With this noble deed Shameem Bhat a 30 year old graduate from Khaipora a remote village of Handwara sub- district has become an inspiration for many in his locality.
The importance of donating blood dawned on him when in 2006 he was unable to get a pint of blood for his relative whom he was attending at District Hospital Handwara.
“I still remember calling several relatives for donating blood but nobody turned up, I being a 20 year old college student that time was afraid of donating blood but after the condition of my relative went from bad to worse I donated blood for the first time,” he said.
Bhat is a regular and registered blood donor at District Hospital Handwara where he has donated more than 32 blood points till now.
“I am a registered blood donor, whenever a need arises the officials at blood bank DH Handwara call me and within the shortest span of time I make myself available to donate blood,” he said.
The officials at blood bank Handwara acknowledged the fact that with Gulistan News Corespondent setting the trend, several volunteers remain a call away to donate blood.
“Donating blood cannot be only a great source of saving lives but it is also beneficial for health,” he said while urging youth to come forward for the noble cause of donating blood.
Shemeem is working with Gulisatan News whom he has been associated for more than a decade now. He joined Gulistan News in 2014 .
Bhat is also recipient of several state and district level awards. During the last Republic Day celebrations he was awarded for his extra ordinary services rendered during the lockdown period in 2020.
