Cops on duty in Muzaffarnagar will now be able to take some time off from their rigorous duty as the police department opened a unique cafe-cum-gym. This cafe is to serve healthy food options like poha, dalia, fresh fruit juices, smoothies, and food cooked in olive oil. It also has a gym attached to it, that is open for usage by police personnel.
This cafe is also set to deliver food orders to various places in the city and will be open until 9 PM throughout the week. This centrally air-conditioned cafe was opened to cops on Friday and offers affordable meals at reasonable prices. This is a sugar-free cafe and will use jaggery as a sweetener.
This initiative is the brainchild of Muzaffarnagar’s SSP Abhishek Yadav, a fitness freak. He has been working on this project for the last six months. “Policemen need to follow a highly exhaustive schedule of duty that seldom gives them the opportunity to avail of a proper diet. Cases of hypertension, diabetes and stress are common among the UP police force. This facility is aimed at alleviating such health problems. Improper diet and lack of awareness for a healthy lifestyle were also the reasons behind opening such a unique cafe,” the SSP said.
“This unique concept will be upgraded once we start getting more feedback. It may be then introduced to other police stations as well,” the SSP added.
