Chikkamagaluru: Everyone often mocks at the Indian policemen for their physique. However, in an innovative move and surely out of box thinking of Chikkamagaluru Superintendent of Police, there seems to be all chances of the hefty policemen hitting the gym to loose some extra pounds so that they get a posting in their desirable station.

SP Annamalai has reportedly told the Constables and Head Constables of the district to lose about 5 kgs by April and walk home with the posting to police station of their choice.

It is said that entry for this ‘competition’ is out. Weighing scales have been installed at the police stations. The ones willing to run for this may put in their application mentioning their present weight. The number of registrations will be compiled by Monday, January 16.

With four months to go, many constables are seen scouting out options. While some said Yoga, some said gym, some said walking and some said swimming. Many more said that four months is just too little time to achieve the target.

The offer is confined only to the district constabulary and it is said that the ‘weight loss’ scheme has been brought in by the SP to break the trend of people serving in same police station for over three years and to do away with the political intervention in transfers etc.

What more, the SP also intends to reward the losers in April!
