Welcome to the Indian village where 800 residents are serving soldiers, booze is banned, and the punishment for being drunk is a hard SLAP

• Atus, near Agra, has 800 serving in the force, with 200 retired servicemen
• 
  
• The village also has its own set of laws. And the punishments are unique too
• 
  
• Anybody found drunk is penalised Rs 500, the 'informer' is given Rs 500
• 
  
• The drunk person is publicly slapped to send a message to the village youths

A village in Uttar Pradesh has stolen the march over others when it comes to producing soldiers for the Indian Army. Locals say nearly 30 per cent of the youth from Atus - or more than 800 - is serving in the force.

The village, situated about 15 kilometres from Agra city, has a population of around 6,000.

'We also have over 200 retired army men here. The 'offensive' started in 2000 when a soldier of our village, Dashrath Singh, was killed by the Pakistan army.

'They took away his head and exploded a bomb on his body. Since then, our youths have developed a habit of joining the Army and fighting the Pakistanis,' Harvir Singh, a retired soldier, told Mail Today.

The village also has its own set of laws. And the punishments are unique too.

'Alcohol is banned in our village just to prevent youngsters from becoming physically and mentally weak. Anybody found drunk is penalised Rs 500 and anyone who gives information to the panchayat about an intoxicated person is rewarded with that amount.

'Not only this: the drunk person is publicly slapped in front of the panchayat to give a strong message to the youths,' Singh said. Nearly 60 km from Atus is Fatehabad village, which is also setting an example for others to emulate.

10 Signals From Our Bodies that Need to Be Taken Seriously! There's no machine more complicated than our body. Like any sophisticated machine that sends information when something is wrong, our bodies do the same. Our bodies tell us when something is wrong with the workings of our internal organs and systems. Unfortunately, we often ignore what our bodies tell us and this is a big mistake. Watch out for these 10 worrying signs: 1. Dark circles under the eyes   If you don't get enough sleep, dark circles may appear under your eyes, particularly if you sleep for no less than 7 to 8 hours every night. They can also be the result of something different such as anemia - a health problem that occurs when the body doesn't produce enough red blood cells. 2. Color changes on your fingers Noticed that your fingers change color often? There is a serious reason why this occurs. It is a sign that you have Reynaud's Syndrome - a condition where low temperatures cause spasms in the blood vessels, causing changes in the color of the skin on your fingers.  3. Blurred vision   If your eyes have become tired or you've begun to notice that you occasionally find yourself unable to recognize people or read road signs from a normal distance, you may have developed short-sightedness or astigmatism. Be sure to visit an optician.  4. Blobs in front of your eyes Dots or strips may suddenly appear in front of your eyes and usually, in the presence of bright white lights. If you see them for over a week, consult an optician as this might mean an early indication of cataracts or some other serious problem with your vision. 5. Rumbling in your stomach   This is caused by the processes at work in your intestine. If it occurs rarely, then there's nothing to worry about. If you notice your stomach making noises on a regular basis, or if they're accompanied by pain, then you should visit your doctor straight away.  6. Peeling skin If you notice your skin peeling, this may be an indication that your body is lacking vitamins. If you eat a balanced diet, your skin should return back to normal. If the peeling is accompanied by an itch, visit your doctor as soon as possible as this may be an indication of a fungal infection. 7. Partial loss of smell   The reduction in the keenness of your sense of smell as you get older occurs as a consequence of damage to the nervous system. But if you're relatively young and have begun to notice that you're losing your sense of smell, you should go and see a doctor right away. It could be the result of either a strong cold or other viral infection. 8. Twitching eyelids If you've noticed a prolonged twitching of the eyelids, it can indicate that your eyes have been overworked. Overcome this by washing your eyes with cotton pads soaked in cold water. If this doesn't work and the twitching continues speak to a neuropathologist. This could be a sign of a serious problem with your nervous system.  9. Ringing in your ears   Tinnitus is a ringing or noise in your ears. While most people try not to pay attention to this sensation, believing that it doesn't threaten their health in any way, constant ringing is quite possibly caused by an illness. The most widespread cause of a ringing sound in the ears is the constant loud noise that occurs in certain kinds of work environment.  10. Dislocation of the shoulder jointFor some people, their shoulder joints may appear to be loose or can be moved in an unusual number of directions. This is an indication of an unstable shoulder joint - a condition where the ball of the shoulder bone comes out of the socket of the joint. While it may be that individuals were simply born with very flexible ligaments, or it could have been caused by a sports injury. In both cases, this is a dangerous condition that can lead to injuries and dislocation.
