Milad For A Cause

Mohammed Younus / Hyderabad : Social groups are busy asking the masses not to have wild celebrations on Milad-un-Nabi in the city and told them to remember that the occasion was a solemn on and should be used spread harmony and do social good like organising blood donation camps and conduct educational competitions for school children. As per the lunar calendar Milad-un-Nabi is on January 4 and masses are gearing up to discourage the conduct of ostentatious events in the city. 

Organisations like FOCUSS (Forum for Cultural Up gradation and Social Service) and Irshadul Muslimeen are jointly organizing a blood donation camp for the fourth consecutive year now. One of the organisers Ahsan Bin Mohammed said that the blood donation camp is organised with the help of Thalassemia Sickle Cell Society in city and the donated blood would be given to Thalassemia patients. He said that the number of donors has been on the rise every year and this year they were expecting around 2,000 units of blood. 

“Previously, 1,500 people turned up for blood donation which helped hundreds of Thalassemia patients in the city,” he said. The event organiser said that they wanted to draw the attention of crowds towards social service, rather than taking out processions on the occasion of Milad. It has been reported that this year Deputy Chief Minister Mohammed Mahmood Ali, ACB director General A K Khan and Commissioner Minority Welfare Omar Jaleel will be attending the camp scheduled to be held at Asafia Library on January 4.
