Sub-Inspector Youngbir, who is in-charge of the horse riding wing of the PAP, is spending his time writing poems, gardening and at the stable.

The SI is also the in-charge of the horse riding team that has been taking part in national tournaments since 1990.

Everyday as part of his duty, he makes sure that he visits his horses and checks the temperature. He also ensures that the horses get massage daily. “We don’t allow any civilian to enter the stable. Only our staff come and they also enter after washing their hands. The time of practice of horses have also been reduced. We have stopped training civilians. Every staff member remain in the stable wearing mask,” he said.

Youngbir goes to the stable at 6.30 am. “I have also started doing yoga. And this is the new addition in my routine to remain fit,” he said.

The SI said apart from performing his duty, he has been doing gardening, which he couldn’t do earlier because of busy schedule. He has been growing vegetables in a small garden in his home these days. “Gardening is one of my interests, which I was not able to do because of work, but now I am doing it properly,” the learned horse rider said.

Apart from this, Youngbir informed that he is into writing poems these days. “Dosto aajao ik sallah banaiye, corona di afat nu gall toh laiye, aap bachiye te apneya nu bachaiye,” reads a few lines of the poem he has written. Youngbir said he had also noticed that adopting norms such as social distancing and hand washing could save you from other normal flu and infections too.
