After winning corona battle, 54-yr-old DCP is back to work

Ludhiana: After defeating Covid-19, deputy commissioner of police (law & order) Ashwani Kapur, 54, is ready to join duty on Monday.
Kapur had contracted the virus on June 25 from his orderly, a Punjab Home Guard. For two days, the official was admitted to a hospital and then shifted to home quarantine.
While speaking with the TOI, Kapur said, “A positive attitude, a healthy diet and breathing exercises helped me trounce Covid-19. At my age, the disease could have affected the vital organs had I not been a teetotaller and non-smoker.”
Kapur was earlier supervising the work of sending migrants back to their home states by Shramik trains.
About the 17-day quarantine period, he said, “I was in hospital for two days. I was shifted to my house after doctors ascertained that there was no risk to my life. The first thing I told myself was to stay optimistic and that these 15-17 days were ‘me time’. Every day, I would wake up in the morning, meditate and prayer. It was followed by a healthy breakfast comprising fruits too. In the evening, walks and breathing exercises kept me busy. Besides the multivitamin tablets doctors had prescribed, I had kadha and tulsi water. I spent rest of the time watching TV news and talking to my friends.”
He has a word of advice. “Everyone must take utmost care, as the disease is infectious. It goes undetected in many cases, as people are asymptomatic.”
