Their contributions during the COVID-19 second wave were invaluable, said Shirshat Kapil Ashok, the District Magistrate of East Champaran, which is headquartered in Motihari. He recounts the anxious moments he experienced, as chairman of the Motihari Red Cross Society when the raging virus was wreaking havoc, and fears of contagion and lockdown restrictions caused blood donations to drop. Hats off to Anirudh and his team who rose to the occasion fearlessly and tirelessly said the DM. Superintendent of Police Navin Chandra Jha echoed his views. Anirudh and his team are rendering a priceless service and inspiring others to follow their example.
