New Delhi: About 50
Muslim girls from a city school were given self-defence training
in a bid to instil confidence and strength among them, Delhi
Police said Friday.
The girls, from classes 8 to 12 of a school in Jamia Nagar area of
south Delhi, were trained over a period of two weeks from May 25
to June 7, a police officer said.
"The results were stupendous and it was amazing to see small girls
breaking stone slabs with punches and kicks. Our aim of instilling
confidence and strength amongst the girls was achieved
successfully," the officer said.
NGO Shikhar, which works for social development of children and
women belonging to the lower strata of society, co-ordinated the
programme, the officer added.
"The most important aspect of this programme was that all the
girls were from the Muslim community. As the parents were a bit
reluctant, it took a lot of convincing from us as well as the
school to get their approval," the police officer said.
According to the police, the programme was organised to bridge the
gap and to inculcate a sense of faith and friendship between the
police and the public.
