Police in India's western state of Gujarat are to try out new fragrant, light-weight uniforms to see if they make them less sweaty and smelly.
The uniforms will be doused with the smell of flowers and citrus to help police improve their image by being less malodorous in the heat of summer.
Designers say that they hope the new uniforms will also be more comfortable.
They say they will contain more "ventilation outlets" so that sweat has a greater chance of evaporating.
The co-ordinator of the apparel design section of India's National Institute of Design (NID), Somesh Singh said that the designs would use the latest fibre optic technology to make sure the uniform not only smells good but glows at night so officers can be seen more clearly.
