Kolkata Police Revamps Paddock for Evening Horse Training
The Kolkata Police are starting to train their horses in the evenings!
They fixed up an old training area because the original one was taken down.
Since the temporary training area isn't big, they decided to use the renovated area in the evenings, with new lights.
This is a first for the police's horses, who will now exercise under the lights for two hours in the evening.
Kolkata Police has renovated an old paddock inside Bodyguard Lines for evening horse training.
Evening training is a first for the Kolkata Mounted Police, enabled by new lighting.
The need for a new training space arose after the original paddock near Manohar Das Tarag was dismantled.
Temporary training occurs near Shaheed Minar due to space constraints.
The renovated paddock will host two-hour evening sessions, including various exercises.
