Yoga is indeed getting recognized for having all the right tools to bring about a balance to both the mind and body.Complying to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s wishes, yoga practice has been made mandatory in Delhi police stations.Considering the demanding nature of the job, this move should help cops keep a check on their stress levels.
As per the report by India Today, a senior said that Baba Ramdev could be appointed as the star Yoga trainer and might be asked to visit police stations for special sessions.
AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy) sent a letter to the police departments, urging them to practice yoga. PM Narendra Modi, upon reviewing the activities and achievement of the AYUSH, expressed his desire to make Yoga for police mandatory.
Besides Baba Ramdev, Delhi Police will also be hiring qualified yoga instructors for regular sessions.
The ministry of AYUSH in it’s letter said, “District heads will be responsible for conducting yoga classes in their districts and units. It will be the responsibility of the DCP to prepare a time table and also he/she will ensure that instructor is taking classes as per the schedule. Though, he can also assign any senior official of the district to look after the classes and make surprise visits.”
