Police personnel, who will fail to meet the required standard will undergo an 'assessment' of the factors due to which they could not make it, as the exercise is aimed at improving "fitness of the force and not punishing anyone", another official said.
The review of BMI of 1,884 police personnel started at Jorhat, Silchar and Guwahati, Director General of Police GP Singh said.
