Bhubaneswar, July 17(OT Webdesk): In response to the statewide Odisha Bandh, the Bhubaneswar-Cuttack Commissionerate Police has activated a dedicated helpline number (0674-2543541) for citizens seeking support amid any inconvenience or emergency during the shutdown.
Authorities confirmed the helpline will remain active throughout the bandh period to address distress calls, disruptions, and untoward incidents.
