JAMMU AND KASHMIR, November 20, 2006: Because soldiers are stressed by an increase in fratricidal killings, the army has trained a group of instructors in yoga at Swami Ramdev’s institute. The newly trained yoga instructors are conducting special sessions with solders posted in Jammu and Kashmir to bring down their stress levels. “This has been done in view of the killing of colleagues by jawans in incidents in the 16 Corps area caused by a high degree of stress,” an official said. In Rajouri and Srinagar districts of the state during October there were five such incidents in which 11 personnel, including a lieutenant colonel, were killed.
