Yoga and Pranayam for CRPF jawans

Yoga and Pranayam for CRPF jawans      

Itanagar, Feb 05: To help CRPF jawans posted in Arunachal Pradesh get rid of their mental stress, the Paramilitary Force is holding a week-long Yoga course, a senior official said.

Some 300 CRPF jawans of the 170 battalion here are currently participating in a week-long Yoga course on stress managment, Sanjeeva Roy, Battalion Commandant said in a press release.

The training in Pranayam and Yoga has been organised with the help of an NGO 'Art of Living', Roy said.

Though Arunachal Pradesh is a peaceful state, three battalions of the CRPF have been inducted in the state recently for sensitive duties like guarding residences of VVIPs and civil secretariat, banks and other important establishments and maintenance of general law and order.

CRPF sources said that as there is no group centre for housing, the jawans are living away from their families. While performing their arduous duties, the jawans get bored and come under severe mental stress, they added.

Recently two jawans were shot dead by one of their colleagues at their mess here for serving cold food. The sources said officers had already taken up with the Arunachal Pradesh government the issue of land allotment for construction of group centres as available in other states.
