Rajon Saha, assistant commissioner of the division, told The Business Standard that policemen are more exposed to Covid-19 infection as they directly come into contact with people while on-duty.
"We have already been provided with immune-boosting food and fruits and now this session will help us combat the invisible enemy," he added.
Shama Makhing, the yoga trainer said, physical exercise, including yoga, was much appreciated during the pandemic.
Gradually, a total of 1,200 staff members of the division will join the newly introduced yoga session.
