GHMC to Train Women in Self Defense

Women can learn to fend off trouble-makers during the summer holidays.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.They can decide the time and venue. A female coach will be provided, on request. There is no dearth of women coaches in karate said Santosh Malthumkar, a black belt in Taekwondo who offers training by female coaches at women’s colleges.

Mayor Hussain said coaching camps would be organised in colonies from May 1. For this, colony associations can approach GHMC additional commissioner Anuradha on 9949994035 or e-mail her on ac_sports@gmail.com or apply at her office in third floor of the GHMC main building near Tank Bund.
