Time to have compulsory para-military training
It is time to reconsider our approach to civilian safety. Imagine if every Indian citizen had a minimum level of para-military training to empower each individual with self-defense skills and situational awareness. It also builds a disciplined society.
In the face of natural disasters, terror attacks, or large-scale crises, a trained civilian population can act as a critical support system for first responders, preventing chaos and bolstering community resilience.
An alert and prepared society sends a strong message and creates a deterrence effect.
