“Earlier conditions turned severe here, and locals were terrified and relocating to a new place. It’s a good initiative that training is been provided to VDG. I request members to join the training and protect themselves. During the training, we were informed how to keep the weapon and how to use them, and now We are not scared.

I request that more members come and take training and learn how to protect themselves so that in future we can fight ourselves”, said Manshad Ali, a VDG member.
“CRPF started this initiative and gave us training and cleaned the area. And we want them to come in every village and provide training to us, trained our sisters and wife, so that our nation can be protected, we are hindustani and we are ready to stand with our forces to protect our country”, said Gulzar Ahmed, another VDG member.
Earlier on January 10, CRPF along with the Jammu and Kashmir police provided training to the Village Defence Guards at the Kandi area of Rajouri District. The training was provided after the attack on the civilians in the district on January 1.
