Hyderabad Police Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar has urged police personnel to stay away from harmful addictions and cultivate creative hobbies such as reading, writing, music, sports and yoga to maintain mental well-being.

Releasing ‘Vamsadhara’, a collection of prose poems authored by Hyderabad City Police constable Narayana Rao, at the Telangana Integrated Command and Control Centre (TGICCC) in Hyderabad on Wednesday, Mr. Sajjanar said police personnel should set an example for society.

Praising Mr. Rao, who serves in the Hyderabad City Police IT Cell, he said it is a matter of pride for the department that a constable from an ordinary farming family had devoted four years to writing a book despite the demanding nature of police work. He encouraged personnel to use their leisure time productively without allowing their hobbies to interfere with official duties.

He also said the department was considering organising special workshops to identify and nurture hidden talent among police personnel.
