NEW DELHI - Fears of militant attacks in the north Indian Jammu region have led officials to revive a network of thousands of rifle-armed village guards trained to act as first responders during a terror attack.
These guards were appointed as members of counterterrorist village defence committees , which were first formed in Jammu in the 1990s but petered out over the years as violence ebbed. They are now being revived as village defence guards . More appointments will follow to improve the existing network, a police spokesman told The Straits Times.This region is part of the former state of Jammu and Kashmir, which was India’s only Muslim-majority state until 2019. That year, it was split into two federally-administered territories, a move the central government claimed would help develop the region and fight terror more effectively.
“In such a situation, these guards will be able to at least resist any move by the terrorists until security personnel arrive,” he said.
