Guwahati: In line with directions of the Chief Minister of Assam , the State police headquarter has decided to go in for professional recording of Body Mass Index (BMI) of all Assam Police personnel including IPS/APS officers and all battalions and organisations, Assam police Director General G P Singh announced this on  May 15.

The DGP said, “We plan to give three months’ time to all Assam Police personnel including Indian Police Service (IPS) and Assam Police Service (APS) officers till August 15 and then start BMI assessment in the next fifteen days. All those who are in obese (BMI 30+) category would be offered another three months’ time to reduce weight (till November End) and after that VRS option except those who have genuine medical reasons like thyroidism etc.” The DGP further said that he would be the first to have the BMI taken on August 16.

It has been learnt from the top officials of Assam police that keeping in mind the current scenario and law and order situation arises across the globe, it is very necessary for the police force to remain fit.

So the home department headed by the Chief Minister decided to go for a fitness survey of all State police personnel who are ‘unfit’ in terms of their Body Mass Index (BMI).

Earlier in April, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had said that about 300 alcoholic Assam Police personnel will be given Voluntary Retirement from Service.

He said that these police personnel drink excessively which is affecting their service.

The Chief Minister also said that it is not a new practice and it was always there in the forces. But it was not practised in Assam. Now the procedure to give VRS to such police personnel has begun, and the hiring to fill these vacancies will be done.

It should be mentioned that Assam police have recruited around 7000 young boys and girls in various posts in the last 2 years. The Government is planning to recruit another 7000 police personnel soon to make the State security force young and energetic.
