Opposition National Conference will hold a blood donation camp here tomorrow to commemorate the first anniversary of the devastating floods that ravaged Jammu and Kashmir and claimed about 300 lives last year.
The camp will be inaugurated by NC working president Omar Abdullah at party headquarters here tomorrow.
Omar took to twitter to drum up support for the blood donation camp.
"Costs nothing to donate & help save a life," he tweeted.
Senior party leaders, legislators and office bearers will participate in the camp, NC provincial president Nasir Aslam Wani said.
"Our blood donation camp is in the memory of those flood victims who lost their lives in the devastating floods that wreaked havoc a year ago.
"It is also our expression of solidarity with hundreds and thousands of floods victims who continue to live in misery and suffering in the absence of any visible signs from the state and the Central governments to even consider their rehabilitation, leave alone pursue it," Wani said.
The blood collected from the camp will be deposited at hospital blood banks to be used to save precious lives, he said.
