Rotary District 3190 conducted a Mega Blood Donation drive across 15 centres in Bengaluru on Thursday. The organisers were also hoping to create a new Guinness World Record of Most People signing up to donate blood in a span of 8 hours. The current Guinness World Record in this category was set in Egypt where 1679 units of blood had been collected in a single day. The Rotary club organisers said they had managed to mobilise 3,560 volunteers to donate blood. Now, Guinness officials will have to verify the claim and award the record.
