At this station, police do burpees and crunches every day

This is part of fitness initiative introduced during lockdown
Over the last few weeks, residents living near C.K. Achukattu police station would observe police personnel gathering outside the station every night. However, instead of the usual end-of-day roll call, staff were seen doing stretches, burpees, and crunches, under the supervision of trained personnel. This is part of a fitness initiative introduced by inspector R. Janardhan last month during the lockdown. He roped in professional sportspersons from Sports Authority of India to oversee the training. “It’s a daily half-hour quick exercise under the supervision of a team of gymnasts from the Sports Authority of India. The aim is to ensure that personnel are fit,” said Mr. Janardhan. The regimen developed organically. During the lockdown, staff would assemble at the station for a dinner meeting and to get the next day’s assignments.More Related News
