He emphasised that his mission has never been driven by recognition or awards, but purely by the desire to save precious human lives. \u201cBlood donation is one of the greatest services to humanity.

I decided to become a regular blood donor and also motivate others so that no parent ever has to suffer due to the non-availability of blood,\u201d she added. Since then, Bilques Ara has remained steadfast in her commitment, actively spreading awareness about voluntary blood donation and encouraging people, especially women, to participate in this life-saving cause.<\/p>\n<p>She emphasized that \u201csaving one life is equal to saving the whole of humanity,\u201d and urged people to regularly come forward for this noble cause.<\/p>\n<p>The blood donation camp witnessed enthusiastic participation from donors and was widely appreciated by medical staff and the local community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Srinagar:\u00a0 An inspiring display of selfless service and humanitarian commitment was witnessed at a blood donation camp held at Sub-District Hospital (SDH) Sopore, where renowned social workers, popularly known as the \u201cBlood Man and Woman of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir,\u201d Shabir Hussain of Srinagar and Bilques Ara of Sopore, once again set an &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":193114,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-193113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indian-occupied-jammu-and-kashmir"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/assests\/2026\/01\/30-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=193113"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193113\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":193115,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193113\/revisions\/193115"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/193114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
