The Indian consulate in Dubai has arranged a blood donation camp today at the consulate building between 8.30am and 12pm.
The event has been organised to mark India's independence day on August 15.
The consulate said that it "encourages young Indians above the age of 18 to donate blood. Donating blood is a social responsibility, it is a healthy practice and on this occasion will also mark our forthcoming Independence Day."
