Hubballi-Dharwad police officers lose weight via wellness program

A wellness program for Hubballi-Dharwad police officers resulted in significant weight loss, with participants shedding up to 10 kg in a month. The initiative, targeting officers exceeding weight thresholds, included daily exercise, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments, following directives from the state's police chief. The program, running from June 9 to July 8, involved early morning walks, yoga, and personalized exercise plans. The program, which is the first of its kind in the state, aims to improve officer health and morale, addressing concerns about cardiovascular incidents. The program is set to expand to include more officers.
