  "account": "Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: The Government Railway Police (GRP) is on the lookout for 30 individuals to form a squad that can compete in marathons and aim for championships. This elite team, dubbed the Super 30 Cheetah squad, will undergo rigorous training to compete at various levels, including state, national, and international stages.
