Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi on Friday invited the Ladakh-based Drukpa Kung Fu nuns to train the city's school girls in self-defence. He said, “Even though society needs to change, we will also have to strengthen young girls and women so much that they can give [a] befitting reply to those who try to harass them. These nuns are experts in self-defense and judo-karate.”
Around 250 Drukpa Kung Fu nuns from various states, including Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir, and from Bhutan participated in a 2,500-kilometre cycle journey from Kathmandu to Delhi to carry the message of women empowerment and environment consciousness. National Commission for Women chief Lalitha Kumaramangalam said the accomplishment showed the immense strength that women embody, reported PTI.
