印度一警察部隊要求警察減肥 否則將被停職

An Indian police force has told its officers to lose weight or face suspension from service.

近日，印度一警察部隊要求警員進行減肥，否則可能會被停職。

The chief of Karnataka State Reserve Police (KSRP) told the BBC that he was worried about the increasing number of obese personnel in the force.

卡納塔克邦後備警察部隊首長在接受BBC採訪時稱，該部隊肥胖警員的數量逐漸增長，對此他表示很擔憂。

Bhaskar Rao added that he took the decision after more than 100 officers died in the last 18 months because of lifestyle-related illnesses.

這位名叫巴斯卡爾·拉奧的長官還表示，在100多名警員在過去18個月裏死於與生活方式相關的疾病之後，他決定採取這項舉措。

The officers will be provided help to change their lifestyle and diet.

該部隊將幫助警員改變他們的生活方式和飲食習慣。

The KSRP, which has 14,000 personnel, is often called to provide security for big events, and also to control situations like riots and violent agitations.

卡納塔克邦後備警察部隊共有14000名警員，他們經常爲重大事件提供安全保障，並且還控制一些暴動和安全暴亂等。

It's not uncommon to see Indian policemen struggling with weight issues.

印度警察陷入體重問題並不是一件不尋常的事情。

"In the last 18 months, 153 of our men have died. Out of these, 24 died in road accidents and nine killed themselves. The rest have died due to lifestyle-related diseases like cardiac problems and diabetes. This is the biggest wake-up call that a force can get," Mr Rao said.

拉奧首長稱：“在過去的18個月裏，部隊裏有153人死亡。其中24人死於交通事故，9人自殺。其餘的人都是死於與生活方式相關的疾病，如心臟疾病和糖尿病。”

He added that officers ate mostly rice-based fried food, smoked, drank, and did not exercise. Platoon commanders "have been told to routinely monitor the body mass index (BMI) of every policeman".

他補充道，警察們吃的大多都是以大米爲原料的油炸食品，還抽菸酗酒、不鍛鍊身體。排長們已經被告知要“定期監測每個警察的身體質量指數”。
