front of Divisional Commissioners Old Office demanding absorption of
all the Home Guards into the regular police or to enhance salary at
par with them entered into sixth year on the other day.
The association had launched its dharna on November 15, 2006. For the
past five years, Home Guards have been holding a dharna at the Mubarak
Mandi complex here. To loud their voice to reach state government and
to wake it up from its deep slumber, a massive "protest Dharna" was
staged today, outside the Press Club of Jammu.
Not only the Home Guards but different leaders of political parties &
NGOs also supported the home guards and asked the state government to
accept their demands. Speaking on the occasion State General Secretary

He asked Hon'ble Chief Minister and Legislatures to introspect how
they enhanced their salary to many folds in one go (whereas they were
not the Govt employees) which they were not entitled to, and Home

competitions and gone through hard trainings, posted at different
places and get Rs. 545/- which he consumes in the Mini bus fair while
performing duty at different places.

Spot" on the face of the Central as well State government, that since

Home Guards into the regular police force.
