The Indian Army conducted firing practice and training for security guards of various banks at High Ground in South Kashmir’s Islamabad (Anantnag).
Officials told The Kashmiriyat that the training was given to the guards as there have been several instances of looting of banks by militants in South Kashmir region.
They said that the conversations with bank pointed out at the fact that the guards employed for security are lacking courage, confidence and skills to react aptly during such situations.
The Indian Army said that there is a need to give the guards of banks a practice of firing which would enhance their confidence and capabilities to react during any such incident.
The guards were given adequate firing practice in various weapons like AK 47 , INSAS and 12 bore rifles at the High Ground to mitigate fear, instill confidence and enhance their skills. (The Kashmiriyat)
