Busting gangs takes toll on police

The crackdown on gangs in Chongqing is taking its toll on the police force as well.

More than 7,000 officers have been working up to 16 hours a day without holidays - with several illnesses and even one death associated with overwork, the Chongqing Evening News reported.

"We don't know what a holiday is," a policeman in the Chongqing municipal police bureau was quoted by the newspaper as saying.
