Amid continuing lockdown across the country in the wake of COVID-19, ITBP Chief SS Deswal has exhorted the paramilitary cadres and their family members to be more physically active during lockdown period at home and campuses. “Physical activity has become more important in this period of lockdown around us. We are accustomed to physical work in normal times. These are hard times, almost traumatic as many activities are restricted. Lockdown for us doesn’t mean no activity, manner of conducting activities has to change, just maintain social distancing and better hygiene. We need to increase our physical activities in our campuses and at home to maintain healthy life,” Deswal said in his message.
Lockdown should not be classified as no activity phase. It requires more physical activities. Please ensure that every family member also does physical activity. It will keep all of us fit, active and away from stress due to prevailing conditions globally. I am proud of each one of you as all of you have chosen keeping yourself fit and strong as a way of life, he further said. ITBP is helping out people in stress at several places in providing food and necessities to needy people in remote areas at borders besides helping out local administration in maintaining socialdistancing and lockdowns in the mainland.
