Homeguards to wear black badges demanding pay hike



BHUBANESWAR: Members of the Nikhila Utkal Gruharakhi Mahasangha (NUGM) would wear black badges during duty time from February 1 to 7 demanding pay hike and appointment of retrenched homeguards.

According to NUGM general secretary Sanjay Behera, the State Government has to withdraw false cases lodged against homeguards during protest dharna in front of the State Assembly last year. He also demanded the State Government to implement the proceedings made by Homeguard DG, Home Secretary and Chief Whip of the ruling party on March 8 last year.

“If the State Government fails to fulfill our demands before February 7, we will self-immolate our lives in front of the Naveen Niwas here,” Behera said.
