At this period of insecurity in the country Youth corpers should not be posted to Danger zones for service. they should be allow to serve in their respective states for security/safety reasons. A situation where a corpers is posted to an area he /she is not familiar with to end up losing his or her life rubbish the exercise and through the parents and relatives into mourning is uncalled for especially at this critical period the Nation is passing through.
