A police inspector at Pune’s Dattawadi police station has been cycling across his jurisdiction to raise awareness about coronavirus and staying fit during the ongoing pandemic.

Dattawadi area currently has 12-14 containment zones, in which most of the people live in shanties.

Devidas Gheware conducts regular patrols to these places on a cycle, where normal vehicles cannot go as the areas remain sealed, to interact with people.

‘Exercising is very important to stay safe from coronavirus. Cycling allows us to exercise during work time and interact with people,’ Gheware told ANI.
