May 26, 2015 20:53

Unable to celebrate birthdays or wedding anniversaries because of the strenuous nature of their job, UT Chandigarh cops have now reason to smile as they can avail "rest" on these days.

Chandigarh Police IG RP Upadhyaya has decided that all police personnel of Chandigarh Police will be given an opportunity to be with their family and loved ones on their own birthdays and wedding anniversaries by ensuring them duty rest on these days.

"The nature of duty of police personnel is inherently stressful. They are further compounded by long hours of duty, working on weekends and holidays, inadequate housing and frequent changes in duty timings. As a result, most police personnel miss out on the milestone events in their personal lives such as birthdays and wedding anniversaries," a press release issued by Chandigarh police said.
