u can even do it this way

SQL

create procedure getdetails(@inputstring varchar(2))
as
select * from returnrecords where substring(city,1,2)=@inputstring --since the input string is having varchar(2) as the data type i presume that u need to get all the records where the city name has first two letters as the city name.I thought that was your requirement

SQL

Declare @inputstring varchar(3) = '201'
Select * From TableName
Where PATINDEX('%,' + CAST(ColumnName AS VARCHAR(30))+',%', ',' +@inputstring + ',') > 0
