Delhi Police Commissioner Amulya Patnaik, on the occasion of International Yoga Day, motivated Delhi Police personnel to practice Yoga in order to deal with stress and fatigue and to increase efficiency in their performance.
"Our personnel should imbibe this culture in their daily routine, to keep themselves mentally and physically fit to face difficult situations. Yoga can help our personnel gain strength and remain calm while offering our services," said Madhur Verma.
Patnaik himself performed Yogasans, along with other senior officers and 2,000 participants of all ranks at Ramlila grounds in Central Delhi. All the participants performed Yogasans with great enthusiasm and there was a positive response from all over.
Similar programs were organized by other Districts/Units., police stations, police colonies and polices complexes.
Earlier also, this year, Delhi Police has held various Yoga and stress management workshops for improving physical and mental strength of its personnel. Besides, Welfare wing of Delhi Police has organized 130 Yoga camps across various police stations and police colonies from 2016 onwards.
