#Kanker में देर रात थाना परिसर में औचक निरीक्षण. 😅😅
थाना परिसर में घुस आये 3 भालू. ड्यूटी पर तैनात जवानों की बहादुरी व धैर्य को सलाम जो इन परिस्थितियों का सामना करते हुए भी, स्वयं से पहले जनसेवा में तैनात हैं.
सावधानी भी बरतें, सुरक्षा उपायों का पूरा ध्यान रखें.@KankerPolice pic.twitter.com/QFGhLqQBFE

“Kanker late-night surprise inspection in the police station premises. Three bear cubs entered the police station. Salute to the bravery and patience of the soldiers on duty who, despite facing these conditions, keep public service before themselves. However, it is also important to take care of safety measures,” Kabra tweeted.

Since being shared online, the video has prompted many reactions among netizens, with some calling it a common occurrence in Kanker.
