Jammu : VHP-affiliated ‘Durga Vahini’ held a training camp for girls in Jammu and Kashmir to teach them the arts of self-defence and even how to keep their own during terror attacks, the right-wing outfit said here on Sunday.
Girls, all aged about 18, from 12 districts of the Union Territory participated in the week-long camp that started on July 3.
Besides teaching them defence skills, the camp was also aimed at making girls aware of ‘love jihad,’ said a VHP member.
We organised a seven-day training camp from July 3, focusing on self-defence and personality development,” Shabnam Khajuria, the head of Durga Vahini, told PTI.
The primary objective of this initiative was to enhance girls’ self-confidence and prepare them to combat all types of threats — from terrorism to disasters in the region, she said.
