DHAKA: Sitting cross-legged on mats in a courtyard, dozens of Bangladesh policemen breathed in and out in sync as they took part in mass yoga sessions organised to boost their health during the coronavirus pandemic.

In the capital Dhaka, at least 1,850 policemen got the disease and 10 died, according to government figures. In congested Dhaka, maintaining social distancing has been difficult for locals, adding to the pressure on police and other law enforcement agencies, Saha said. "We were instructed to do what could be done to morally boost the force amid this crisis. This yoga is a part of that mission for us," he said, adding that up to 1,200 personnel will participate in the sessions.
