JAMMU: All J&K Home Guard Welfare Association (HGWA) on Tuesday demanded from the government to implement Supreme Court order to adjust Home Guards of the State as regular constables.
The demand was raised during a protest organised on Tuesday under the leadership of the State President, Kamla Sharma.
She decided to carry on their fight for their regularisation from road to Court till their ultimate goal of regularisation as a constable is achieved.
Addressing the gathering, Kamla said that it is shameful that Home Guards of J&K are being paid just Rs 545 per month for their duties, which they perform in all conditions.
She regretted that while many states like Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, MP, UP and Goa had implemented the Supreme Court order to adjust Home Guards as regular constables but J&K State is not implementing the same.
She appealed to the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to end atrocities on the Home Guards by implementing the Supreme Court judgement regarding adjustment of all Home Guards of the State as regular constables.
She said that according to the judgement of the Apex Court, equal pay should be given for equal work but the allowance paid to Home Guards in the State is insult to the duties performed by them.
Others present in the protest were Mushtaq Ahmed, Bilal Ahmed, Gulham Ahmed, Javed Ahmed, Syed Mohd Sofi, Fayaz Ahmed, Gurmeet Singh, Tarsem Lal, Krishan Lal, Gopal Bhagat, Sanjeev Kumar, Ved Parkash, Sanlosh, Poonam, Radha, Satwinder Kour, Rajni and Kusam.
