Move on to help police cut flab

 Alkapuri Colony: To help police personnel lose pot belly and ensure that the entire police officers maintain physical fitness, Rachakonda Traffic Police department recently started a physical training programme and installed a weighing machine to keep an eye on their weight.  With the initiative, traffic police here in Alkapuri colony are seen performing exercises in the mornings. 

Sources said, apart from fixed parades and exercises, the officers with pot-bellies have been instructed to participate in sports activities, including mandatory jogging and swimming. 
Those who are overweight and suffer from obesity, the Rachakonda Traffic Police decided to make 'overweight' personnel healthy and fit.

Every year more than 120 policemen aged 45 to 50 die because of blood pressure, diabetes, cardiac arrest and other health problems. They also are addicted to smoking and other habits, so this fitness programme would help them to maintain their physique and remain healthy.
