Responding to Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh’s appeal, as many as 40 police personnel, recently recovered from Covid-19 infection, have offered to donate their blood plasma to save the lives of others infected with the deadly Coronavirus.

The majority of these are from Jalandhar Rural, with SSP Navjot Singh Mahal himself leading the way after recovering from the infection. He  has been personally reached out to his convalescent officers and men to donate plasma after their mandatory 2-week recovery period ends, subject to fulfilling other conditions for such donation.

within 24 hours of the SSP Jalandhar Rural coming forward to commit to plasma donation, 40 other police personnel had also volunteered, followed by more. The blood plasma of two cops –ASI Ram Lal and PHG Lakhwinder Singh – had already been taken.All the 33 personnel recovered from Covid-19 in Jalandhar Rural had committed to plasma donation.

A special link has been created by the Punjab Police for volunteers to donate plasma to help out other patients who were struggling with the disease, according to the DGP. Gupta said a special campaign had been launched to create awareness among the cured police personnel to come out for this noble cause. The DGP lauded the Punjab Police corona warriors for their dedication to duty and service to humanity.

The Punjab Police has in place an elaborate mechanism to test its personnel on frontline duty to ensure early diagnosis, isolation and treatment.  The state government has set up one Plasma Bank in Patiala and is preparing to operationalize two more to strengthen its Covid treatment and care network.
