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.

A shocker from J & K – 14 police stations and 48 police posts do not have any toilet!!

#swatchhbharat #policestations #RTI #toilets #drinkingwater Prime Minister Narendra Modi would be shocked to know that it has been revealed by an RTI activist that more than a dozen of police stations and police posts across the state of Jammu and Kashmir do not have any basic amenities like toilet and drinking water. This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 15 February 2015.
The Information has been made available by the Public Information Officer cum AIG Welfare of the Jammu and Kashmir Police Headquarters and it was in response to the application under RTI act and the information is that 48 police posts and 14 police stations in the state do not have any toilet facility.
Moreover, 49 Posts and 23 Police Stations do not have any drinking water facility.
The pet project of Prime Minister Modi is a Swachh Bharat or a Clean India and instructions have been issued to ensure that open toilets are gradually removed and replaced with regular toilet facilities. Awareness is being spread via TV ads and corporate houses are being roped in to take up the cause of schools – especially those meant for girls. This is important because there are reports that girls drop out of schools because there are no proper toilet facilities.
However, the pathetic state of J & K with its police stations minus toilets and drinking water facilities is something that must be addressed on immediate priority.
