This is inside that debug text file.
Please help me why it is being created and how to resolve it.

Hello @Ipsita Jash , it seems directory_reader_win.cc is generated by Chrome, you can refer to this thread: "Why is there a debug file on my computer and how to I fix it" to see if it helps. winapi-general tag is focusing on Win32 C++ development, for Chrome related issue, it is suggested to contact Chrome support for helping.
@Rita Han - MSFT , In the text file being generated, at the bottom rightmost corner linux has been written instead of windows. Is there anything to worry about it?

The debug file is created from all Chromium 68x based browsers (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave Browser, Vivendi ...) randomly. There is now an issue entry in Google's bug tracker for Chromium. So I guess they will fix it soon in a new release.
And maybe it helps to delete the content of the folder Crashpad.
Chromium 68 browsers (Chrome, Edge etc.) create debug.log files

@Rita Han - MSFT Don't forget that the new Edge browser will also generate this. I just found this thread because I had the same debug file from Edge.
Since this is not a development issue you can check the supported products listed under Windows Client for IT Pros for more professional support.
