Haryana DGP Launches Special Fitness Classes for Heavyweight Cops: A Positive Step Forward
DGP Shatrujit Kapoor’s Initiative to Combat Obesity Among Cops
Haryana’s DGP, Shatrujit Kapoor, has taken a significant step by ordering special fitness classes for overweight police officers. This initiative aims to improve the physical health and fitness of police personnel, promoting a healthier work environment and better performance in their duties.
Recalling Dr. John V. George’s Similar Campaign 25 Years Ago
This move by DGP Kapoor brings to mind a similar campaign initiated by retired DG of Jails, Dr. John V. George, when he was the IG of Hisar Police Range, twenty-five years ago. Dr. George had offered a unique incentive: if police officers reduced their weight, they would be given the choice to serve in their preferred posting. The campaign was successful and resulted in significant positive changes in the health of many officers.
Media Coverage and Positive Outcomes
The success of Dr. George’s initiative garnered attention from national media, with a leading English daily publishing an editorial titled “Potbelly Cops,” highlighting the transformation of the police force under his campaign. DGP Kapoor’s new initiative is expected to bring similar positive results, improving the overall fitness and efficiency of Haryana’s police force.
