印度警察陷入体重问题并不是一件不寻常的事情。

"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.

拉奥首长称：“在过去的18个月里，部队里有153人死亡。其中24人死于交通事故，9人自杀。其余的人都是死于与生活方式相关的疾病，如心脏疾病和糖尿病。”

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".

他补充道，警察们吃的大多都是以大米为原料的油炸食品，还抽烟酗酒、不锻炼身体。排长们已经被告知要“定期监测每个警察的身体质量指数”。
