These Boots aren't made for Walkin'
Chennai policemen are finding that their uniform boots may the cause of serious vascular problems, provoking symptoms of venous disease. A customary British based tradition is now becoming a widespread issue, as a local division is reporting that at least 80% of the policemen either have problems or vein health complications are likely to ensue. In a highly temperamental climate like Chennai, India the boots are not suitable for long hours in the heat and humidity – which after hours on end walking through the bustling city may be causing bulging, swelling, aching and redness all of which are symptoms associated with varicose veins.
The poorly fitted boots are obstructed blood flow to the lower regions of the legs; they are far too tight and made of bad quality leather. Although the police personnel are aware of the boot problems, they are yet to boot out the obligatory rules forcing the men to wear them at all times on duty. With the increase in vein issues comes the increase in hospitalizations for the men in uniform, which ultimately results in a demobilized and struggling police force. An issue Chennai, like many other areas in India cannot bear.
