DIG of police (Central Range) D S Kuttey was the Jajpur SP when Chand went for her first global event in Canada. “Saraswati made Orissa police proud with her achievements last time and we had then promoted her to the rank of a havildar. I hope she would win more medals this year,” said Kuttey.Chand has received all help from her department. “She was sent for training around the world round the year.
