Chandigarh: The Punjab Police has decided to establish health and wellness centres (HWCs) for its personnel in all the districts of the state, DGP Dinkar Gupta said here on Friday.
Such health centres are also proposed to be set up in all the police training centres, he said.
The HWCs will have an indoor gym, space for meditation and yoga, a physiotherapy centre and a counseling room, he said.
The DGP said the pressures of job and stressful working conditions of police lead to fatigue and trauma, which sometimes turn into serious health issues.
"Health and wellness centres will encourage the police personnel to focus and attend to their physical and mental fitness, and provide the necessary interventions to bring the required change in their overall health and well-being," Gupta said in a statement.
