Describing Jharsuguda as a culturally rich and industrially significant district, Parmar said its diverse population has earned it the reputation of being a “mini-India.”
“Jharsuguda is known as mini-India because of its cultural diversity and strong industrial presence. I am happy to have the opportunity to serve here and address the challenges of the district,” she said.
Emphasising public accessibility, Parmar urged residents to dial 112 in emergencies or approach their nearest police station for assistance.
“If anyone is not satisfied with the response at the police station, they can approach the SDPO’s office or directly visit my office. The SP’s office is always open to the public. We are here to help,” she said.
Parmar also stressed the importance of building public confidence through timely response and effective grievance redressal.
