Guwahati, Jan 2: The review of the BMI of 1,884 police personnel started on Tuesday at Jorhat, Silchar, and Guwahati.
In a follow-up to the Body Mass Index (BMI) testing held in August 2023, Assam Director General of Police GP Singh announced on Monday, January 1, 2024, the re-examination of 1884 Assam Police personnel who fell into the obese category (30+ BMI).
The state police conducted the body mass index (BMI) check of all personnel in August last year, with the director general of police (DGP) undergoing the screening test first.
Body mass index is a measurement of a person’s weight with respect to his or her height. According to the World Health Organisation, a BMI over 25 is considered overweight, and over 30 is obese.
The DGP had earlier said that all those who would not be able to reduce their weight by the end of the stipulated period would be offered a voluntary retirement option, except for those who have genuine medical reasons like thyroidism.
