Mumbai Policemen not keen to shed weight

Mumbai Police department on seeing that their policemen are overweight, earlier decided to encourage their police force to shed the flab & be slim trim by doing exercises & joining gym etc. As per one report, for this, department offered the extra cash starting in November to police officers who were having weight above 70kg. But there were few takers to this scheme as only 45 of the 38,000 policemen in Mumbai applied to take that extra 250 rupees (about 5.6 US $) a month for losing weight.

As per policemen, 250 rupees a month do not buy them much these days & it is not enough even to have a month's membership at a gym. Police department now is planning to build gyms at the city's 83 police stations only so that it's officers can exercise during duty hours only.
