Village Defense Committees
Ground intelligence reports suggest that the killing of six people, including two children from the Hindu community, in a terrorist attack in a Rajouri village could lead to a communal divide. Along with this, it has been said in the report that the government should look into its promise of re-establishing VDC in Jammu. VDC aims to fight terrorism, provide hi-tech weapons and ensure equal pay for its members.
When and where was VDC formed?
The VDC was formed in 1995 to fight terrorists in remote areas with 26,567 locals in 10 districts of the Jammu region. In the 1990s, when militancy and violence were at their peak in Jammu and Kashmir, the VDC helped and protected people in remote areas. The committees were credited with fighting terrorists and preventing the exodus of local people, especially in the wake of several killings in 2001. Most of the VDCs were disbanded by the previous governments.
