Record blood donation

MUMBAI JUNE 2. Hundreds of people in Mumbai today made their way into the Guinness Book by donating a record 5,500 units of blood on a single day. In the largest peacetime blood donation camp ever held, students, housewives, professionals and retired personnel turned out in hoards to do their bit for society. Their efforts better the long-standing record of 3,155 bottles collected — created in 1999 by the American Red Cross.
