A blood donation camp held in Visakhapatnam, India, saw participation from over 50 donors as part of the May Day week celebrations. Organized by the Defence Coordination Committee and the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), the event took place at the Mother Blood Centre near Jagadamba. Speakers, including Defence Coordination Committee convener Reddy Venkata Rao and CITU district general secretary R.K.S.V. Kumar, highlighted the importance of labor rights and the ongoing struggles workers face, especially after the government's introduction of four new labor codes that they claim weaken existing protections. They urged participants to honor the legacy of May Day martyrs by advocating for an eight-hour workday, job security, and the implementation of minimum wages. In recognition of their contributions, blood donors were awarded certificates and mementoes. The camp is part of a broader effort by CITU to unite workers and promote social service activities during May Day celebrations.
