BHUBANESWAR: The 57th birth anniversary of Lalatendu Bidyadhar Mohapatra (Lulu) saw hundreds participating in a mega blood donation camp organised in memory of the firebrand Congress leader here on Sunday. The event, organised by social activist Amiya Kant Das, was attended by Brahmagiri MLA and Mohapatra’s brother Lalitendu Bidyadhar Mohapatra. Leaders and activists cutting across partylines took part in the camp apart from youngsters from across districts.
Journalists, social activists, educationists and other well-known persons from different fields were felicitated during the programme. Kalinga Yuva Sena, a forum dedicated for ‘Gau seva’ in Cuttack and Bhubaneswar, was also provided a Tata van on this occasion.
“A popular leader among youths, Lalatendu was a source of inspiration for all of us.
