Cops, families under one roof

LUDHIANA: To increase the interaction between the families of police officials and to inculcate the habit of physical fitness among the children of cops, sports day was organised under the banner of Police Week at the Police Lines Stadium on Tuesday. This initiative brought the police officials, their families and children on a common platform, in which children took part in various sports activities and cultural programme as well. Senior officials also interacted with the families and children of their junior officers and staff.  ACP Madhavi Sharma said the event was organised under the leadership of Police Commissioner Sukhchain Singh Gill and was supervised by ADCP Headquarters Deepak Parik, ACP Pragya Jain, ACP Ramneesh Chaudhary ACP Ankur Gupta and other team members including her. The ACP said children of cops took active part in games such as 100-metre race, sack race, tug-of-war, three-legged race, hurdle race and carom. She said children would be awarded with appreciation prizes in cultural programme on January 19 by the Police Commissioner. “The police officials mostly remain busy in their job, due to which they are not able to spare time for such activities for their children.
