Assam Police Launches BMI Testing to Promote Officer Fitness
The Assam Police are starting a program to check the health of all their officers.
They're doing BMI tests, which measure if someone is a healthy weight.
The goal is to help officers stay fit and healthy, which helps them and their families.
The police chief says that when officers are healthy, they also feel better and look more confident.
This follows a previous program where officers were given time to improve their weight or consider retiring if they had health issues.
Assam Police initiated a statewide Body Mass Index (BMI) testing drive.
The drive started at the 10th Assam Police Battalion headquarters and will continue until the first week of September.
The program aims to promote health and fitness among police personnel.
DGP Harmeet Singh emphasized the importance of health for officers' well-being.
The initiative follows a similar drive in May 2024 regarding weight management.
