Kalyan, April 11: The blood donation camp organised by the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) Fire Department at Phadke Maidan in Kalyan witnessed an impressive response, with hundreds of firefighters and citizens participating in large numbers.
The initiative was conducted as part of the ongoing Fire Week, aimed at promoting both safety awareness and social responsibility.

Health check-ups and medical support
