The Delhi Police Commissioner, SN Shrivastava on Saturday inaugurated a “Wellness Centre” under umbrella project Niramaya at Sector-23 police station in Dwarka.
According to Santosh Kumar Meena, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Dwarka, the Wellness Centre (in Association with Chaudhary Brahm Prakash Ayurved Charak Sansthan) CBPACS, Najafgarh, Yoga Park and Open Gym have been operationalized for Police officers or personnel and their family members, as ‘Good Health adds Life to Years’.
“Police as a profession is known for tremendous stress, that it takes one through continuous unspecified working hours leading to unhealthy eating habits causing adverse impact on their efficiency. Most of the police personnel either show little concern about their health for numerous reasons or are extremely pressed for time. This essentially means an immediate need to reach a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being,” said the DCP.
“Keeping up with our commitment of responsible community policing as well as to have a health reality check and early detection of the health issues, Dwarka District Police took an initiative in this direction under “Niramaya Project” and opened three different facilities including Wellness Centre, Yoga Park and Open Gym at Dwarka Sector-23,” said the DCP.
“The focus of the initiative was to nip the bud and to increase awareness about the major health concerns, the repercussions of these concerns as well as how to best handle these health issues,” said the DCP.
“The emphasis was also on the health and general well being of our police personnel and their families. The team of doctors will give free consultancy to the police officers and personnel with emphasis on the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle as a preventive care. Yoga Park will benefit police personnel as well as residents to boost their metabolism, minimize stress, etc. and Open Gym helps in dealing with athletic performance and regular exercises. It will overall boost ‘Healthy and Stress free Living’,” said the DCP.
Apart from this, the CP also interacted with 34 rewardees who had done good works. Further, VC room for interaction with complainants was also operationalized at Police Station Dwarka Sector-23.
