Imphal, December 19 2015 :
The All Manipur VDF Welfare Associationhas urged the State Govt to translate its assurance for increment of the monthly honorarium ofVDF personnel.
Speaking to reporters today, L Deben, president of AMVWA said that although the Govt had earlier decided to increase the honorarium of the VDF personnel, the same is yet to be implemented.
Deben said that the State Govt should grant leave to VDF personnel on State holidays in case the Govt is unable to increase the honorarium of the personnel.
It is also very unfortunate that the Govt is not providing adequate assistance to personnel who died while on duty, Deben added.
Although the State DGP promised adequate facilities to VDF personnel, the same is yet to be translated into action, he said.
He further said that the association will observe its foundation day on March 6 next year at Bishnupur.
