Tensions persisted in Jammu and Kashmir following the killing of two Village Defence Guards (VDG) in Kishtwar, with the people in the region protesting and demanding on Friday that the government take strict action to crush the militancy in the state.

The protesters, chanted slogans and remembered the martyred, Nazir Ahmad and Kuldeep Kumar.
One of the protesters also informed that today there will be a ‘chakka jam’ in Kishtwar too, adding, “There will be a chakka jam and closures in remembrance of the two VDGs which have been martyred. We only demand from the home minister that there is strict action taken to crush the militancy in the region, that the security forces get adequate weapons so that they can take care of the militants.”

“We appeal to the district administration that despite having inputs for so long, and yet there was no action taken, and that’s why the VDGs were martyred. So I would like to say that despite these inputs this has happened, then it is a failure of the administration.

Moreover, the VDGs in Nowshera area of Rajouri district are also on high alert after the killing.
One of the VDGs explained his role for protecting the region, saying, “This weapon has been given to me and others to protect the country, and whenever there is a need for us, we will reach there, police will also reach and army will also reach the place needed. The police call us, and other security forces call us too.”

VDGs serve as a frontline defence against potential militant threats. Operating around the clock, these civilian-led teams work closely with the Indian Army, police, and paramilitary forces, forming a well-coordinated security network essential for the region’s stability.

“Everyone has the josh, and we will give our lives for the nation, but one thing which is a little sad is that nowadays in all the places there is something or the other which is coming up,” the VDG added.

The VDG said that they do the duty daily in groups, looking across the region for any threat, patrolling without fear.

VDG members undergo regular training and guidance from security agencies, ensuring they are prepared to respond swiftly and effectively to any security threats. This robust preparation, combined with their deep local knowledge, positions the VDGs as a crucial asset in India’s broader border security framework.

For decades, VDGs have played a vital role in anti-militancy operations, demonstrating resilience and dedication to safeguarding their communities. Their ongoing vigilance not only strengthens India’s defenses but also brings a sense of peace and stability to the border areas of Nowshera, reflecting a united commitment to national security.
