Blood Donation camp on Independence Day in Mangaluru
Mangaluru: A blood donation camp has been organized at the Jamiathul Falah Hall in Kankanady on August 15, in the joint collaboration of All India Payam-e-Insaniyat Forum, Blood Donor Mangaluru, Jamiatul Falah Mangaluru Unit and Government Wenlock Hospital, Mangaluru.
Organized under the theme 'Let's be lifesavers', the blood donation camp aims at reaching out to the sick and needy, irrespective of caste and creed. "Strengthening of human bond across communities is essential to develop a harmonious atmosphere in the country. Serving the downtrodden in the society lets us know the reality of life and to understand the purpose of human existence", the organizers stated in a press release.
Highlighting the importance of co-existence on the occasion of independence, the organizers stated, "The people who brought independence to this country wanted us to safeguard the values of non-violence, civility and democracy. Unfortunately, we have failed in our duty. Consequently, we are in the imminent danger of being consumed by the inferno of violence and conflict. All our traditions, which made the world respect us, would be consumed by the fire of hatred and violence. Our traditions, the reason for our honour and pride will be gone". They also warned about how whole societies have been consumed by the fire of violence and intolerance.
The blood donation camp will be held from 9 am to 1 pm. For more information, one may contact the organizers at 9844703567, the press release stated.

Fadnavis, Shinde, Pawar? Speculation rises over CM post as Mahayuti heads for landslide win in Maha
Mumbai: With counting still underway for Maharashtra's 288 Assembly constituencies, early trends show the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance is heading for a landslide victory. Meanwhile, speculation is intensifying over who will lead the state government.
The BJP’s seat tally is projected to rise significantly from 105 in 2019 to around 125, commanding its role as the dominant member in the alliance, with a staggering strike rate of 84%.
BJP spokesperson Pravin Darekar expressed that Devendra Fadnavis, a two-term Chief Minister, might reclaim the top post, describing the results as “overwhelming.” However, Shiv Sena spokesperson Sheetal Mhatare argued for continuity, advocating for current Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to retain the role.
BJP leader Keshav Upadhaye emphasized that the election outcome reflects the people's vote for development, but he noted that many party workers favor Fadnavis as the Chief Minister.
Adding to the drama, NCP leader Ajit Pawar, a Deputy Chief Minister in the current government, has also emerged as a potential contender. His wife, Sunetra Pawar, publicly expressed her desire to see him as Maharashtra's Chief Minister, further fueling discussions within the coalition.
