A three-month deadline will be given to those who are found to be overweight according to the BMI calculation, to reduce their weight. In November, the overweight personnel will again be tested.”
All the police personnel will be subjected to compulsory exercise every morning in addition to the six-week refresher fitness course, Sarangi said.
