Why are villagers in Jammu training to use weapons?| The Hindu

Описание: Most of these villagers you see here hadn’t touched a weapon in their life

Now, at a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp in Jammu’s Sunderbani more than 50 civilians are learning how to fire a weapon

They are among the hundreds of villagers in Rajouri and Poonch districts who are being imparted basic arms training by the CRPF and the Army over the past week

The training is imparted as part of a government policy to revive Village Defence Committees or Village Defence Guards (VDG) as they are called now
