Bhubaneswar: The role of the police goes far beyond simply maintaining law and order; they are essential in safeguarding communities during times of crisis. As the first responders, police officers spring into action at the onset of any disaster, whether natural or man-made. From earthquakes and floods to cyclones, they provide critical support and security to those affected, ensuring the well-being and safety of victims. Their swift response and selfless dedication are crucial in mitigating the impact of disasters, making them indispensable heroes in times of need.

They risked their lives to save countless others with unwavering compassion. Whether rescuing stranded children, aiding elderly citizens, or supporting those with medical needs, they worked tirelessly in the face of disaster.
