“A healthy mind is inseparable from a healthy body. Policemen/ women need not only be alert but also physically fit through exercise,†Singh said as he handed over the first batch of the equipment.
It is expected that by working gradually on the modern equipment, police officers will be turned into epitomes of physical fitness, a necessity in keeping criminals at bay.
