2,790 home guard personnel can return to home district
The Story in Brief
The Madhya Pradesh government has allowed 2,790 home guard personnel selected under a special 2016 recruitment drive to be posted in their home districts, ahead of Diwali. These personnel had initially been deployed in other districts because of a lack of vacancies in their selected district.
Director General of Home Guard and Civil Defence Pragya Richa Srivastava said the state government has granted a one-time exemption under the Madhya Pradesh Home Guard Rules, 2016. Eligible personnel can apply online within a set deadline to request a transfer to the district where they were first selected. Postings will be adjusted based on vacancies in district units.
Srivastava said the move would help personnel manage family responsibilities and boost morale. Home guard organisations and personnel have thanked Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav and the state government for the decision.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The decision addresses a long-standing grievance of home guard personnel who were posted away from home despite being selected for their own district. By offering a one-time exemption, the government resolves a administrative bottleneck without amending the rules permanently. The next step is for the 2,790 eligible personnel to apply online within the specified timeframe, with transfers depending on vacancies in their home district units.
