The camp was organised by JJ Hospital in association with the Vishnu Vaman Thakur Charitable Trust, VIVA College, Sainath Sports Club and Ours Cricket Club.
Left-arm pacer Dias, 27, who has taken 33 first-class wickets from 13 matches, said he was happy to help in these moments of crisis. "I feel privileged to be able to help in whatever little way during this health crisis. There is a severe shortage of blood and such camps are vital as they can help critical patients," Dias told mid-day.
