Mini has a rare passion for the dance but could get rare opportunities to showcase it. She got the right platform when Kharvela Nagar police station organised a competition in the slum.
The competition was part of ‘Basti Ku Chala’ initiative of Bhubaneswar Urban Police of Commissionerate Police. Under this initiative, Bhubaneswar Urban Police has been organising different competitions at several slums to motivate and encourage the children to pursue their creative interests.
