Ahmedabad to get a SMART police station where the police would be fit, slim and smart

Ahmedabad wants to set a precedent by creating a SMART police station where the police would be fit, slim and smart. The general trend of tired, overweight policemen and lack of interest in their jobs would soon be a thing of the past. The SMART police station would ensure that its police personnel get nutritious food and at the right time through a canteen at a police station.
This is because unhealthy food or lack of food as a result of irregular working hours put cops at significantly higher health risk than the general population. Hence, Ahmedabad City Police is geared up to make their cops healthy and fit.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 10 February 2017.

The plan is to provide healthy food to the staff - it will include meals, seasonal fruits and juices to meet the nutritional requirements of the cops. Visitors who have to wait at the station for long hours will be provided juice. Cops who have to work for 12 to 13 hours are unable to bring home cooked food, hence the canteen operated by a reputed caterer who will give the meals at subsidised rates.
Moreover, to reduce stress at work, there will be 8-hour duty for cops instead of 12 hours.
