Calcutta High Court Orders One-Week Deadline for Blood Transport Probe
The Calcutta High Court has ordered the Bengal Health Department to complete its investigation into alleged illegal transportation of blood and plasma to other states within one week and submit a report by August 28. The probe follows raids on private blood banks and restrictions on outdoor blood collection camps. Life Care Medical Foundation, barred from outdoor camps, challenged the order but has been accused by authorities of not fully cooperating with the investigation. The court urged the foundation to provide all relevant documents and cooperate.
