A 58-year-old papier-mâché artist from central Kashmir’s Srinagar city has become India’s biggest blood donor.
Shabir Hussain Khan, who lives in Srinagar’s Kamangarpora Kadi Kadal area has donated 174 pints of blood so far in 41 years. Even today, he is always ready to donate blood for the needy.
Recalling the first moment he donated his blood, Khan told Social Story: “I vividly remember on 4 July 1980, I was taking an afternoon nap when I heard a commotion outside my home. A friend was injured playing football and had lost a lot of blood. Without any transport facility available, I rushed to the hospital by foot to donate blood.”
