Keeping in mind the Coronavirus pandemic, and the need to strengthen one's immunity, special yoga camps for police personnel and their families are being organised in Moradabad. These camps are being organised to not only help build immunity among the police personnel, who are at the forefront of the battle against the virus, but also to reduce their stress levels. The yoga camps are held daily between 6 a.m. to 7:30 a.m.

The yoga teacher, Ritu Narang while speaking on the program said, "The police are coronavirus warriors and are constantly on duty for us. Doing yoga strengthens the immune system and coronavirus isn't a threat to a strong immune system."
