The girls, staying away from their homes, have adopted a strict, disciplinarian lifestyle like waking up every morning at 4am. He told TOI that a “march” will be organised on Wednesday where these girls will perform the routines that they have learned at the camp.Dr Nisha Sharma, Mahanagar Seh Karyavahika, Rashtra Sevika Samiti said girls from Braj Meerut and Uttrakhand region are participating in the camp.
