KATHUA, Aug 4: Union Minister Jitendra Singh<\/a> has said that Village Defence Guards (VDGs) have been equipped with modern weapons to counter the increasing number of terror incidents in the Jammu region.\u201cThe government has taken several steps to tackle the rise in terror attacks. One of them is the revival of VDGs (Village Defence Guards) and the modernization of their weapons. The Army has also changed its strategy, which cannot be made public,\u201d Singh said while speaking at an event titled \u2018Empowering Youth for Viksit Bharat\u2019 programme in Jammu division\u2019s Kathua on Saturday.
\nHis comments follow an increase in terrorist activities, particularly in the Jammu region, over the last few months.
\nIn July, Jitendra Singh announced that VDGs are being revived in militancy-infested areas to empower them to fight terrorists.
\n\u201cThe government has also decided that, if and wherever needed, VDGs will be deployed as part of a multi-pronged strategy to confront the challenge posed by terrorists,\u201d he added.
\nSingh also mentioned that weapons, including SLR rifles, may be provided to the VDGs to help them tackle the challenge effectively.<\/p>\n
