GHMC to train women in martial arts
The GHMC will teach self-defence techniques to girls at 120 centres this summer.
Addressing a gathering after inaugurating the central zone summer coaching camps at Chaderghat here Thursday, Mayor M Majid Hussain said keeping in view the recent violence against women, the GHMC had decided to teach self-defence techniques to girls.
The GHMC is committed to start training centres in colonies where women interested in the techniques can put forward their proposals through their Residential Welfare Associations.
