Life Cycle BD organized a colorful bicycle rally in Dhaka on Friday morning to mark World Blood Donor Day. The rally, led by Mohammad Selim Uddin, Dhaka North Jamaat-e-Islami chief and mayoral candidate for Dhaka North City Corporation, started from Manik Mia Avenue beside the National Parliament and passed through Farmgate, Karwan Bazar, Hatirjheel, and Madhubagh before returning to its starting point. Several thousand participants joined the event.

In his welcome speech, Selim Uddin criticized the national budget, saying it failed to reflect public aspirations and favored loan defaulters. He urged young people to stand against injustice and contribute to building a healthy and livable Dhaka. Addressing blood donors, he emphasized that one bag of blood can save a life and described blood donation as both humanitarian service and an act of worship.

Selim Uddin also noted the lack of modern blood storage facilities in hospitals and announced plans to establish a digital blood donor network. The event was conducted by Life Cycle BD director Touhidul Islam Riaz and attended by several advisers and officials.
