Great story, but I wonder if the police department is providing enough time and resources for officer-athletes to train properly. Hope Rajat's success encourages more such initiatives within uniformed forces across India. 😊

Great seeing sportspersons from the police force being recognized. However, I hope the same promotion and support is extended to other officer-athletes too. One success story shouldn't mask systemic issues. Still, congratulations to Rajat! 🙏
