The Home and Health Minister for Haryana, Anil Vij, ordered on Thursday that “overweight” and “pot-bellied” police personnel will be transferred to police lines while keeping in mind the fitness of the cops.
The obese police personnel and staff can resume their duties once they become physically fit through exercise. According to a statement released by the Home Department, “Keeping in view the fitness of the cops of the Haryana Police, Home Minister Anil Vij has issued written directions to the Additional Chief Secretary, that many of the police personnel in the police department have become overweight, and by the time their weight is increasing more, they should be transferred to the police line.”
“In this regard, the Home Minister Anil Vij has now issued a written directive to the Additional Chief Secretary of the Home Department to allow the police officers whose weight has increased and is continuing to increase over time to become fit through exercise. Only after that should they be deputed on duty,” it added.
