KANPUR: With an aim to increase their efficiency for better policing, men-in-khaki here have taken the 'yoga' route to overcome stress, fatigue and obesity.
A special camp to impart yoga training to police personnel was held at the Reserve Police Lines ground in the city on Thursday. A total of 700 police personnel, including senior police officials, underwent training in the basic principles of yoga. Inaugurating the session, DIG Rajesh Kumar Rai said the training aimed at reducing stress. Police personnel were more prone to strain at their workplace and yoga would help them develop stress management techniques.
The city police would now regularly organise such training programmes for their benefit in a phased manner, he added. "The idea is mental and physical development of the officers as well as to change their mindset to deal with the common people. It is going to change the work culture of the police towards commoners as well as to improve police, public relations," said yoga trainer Ravindra Porwal. He added long working hours affected policemen and for that yoga was the best cure.
