Imphal, September 27 2025: The Manipur Home Guard Employees' Welfare Association (MHGEWA) has warned of launching mass agitation if the long-pending demands of Home Guard personnel are not materialized by September 30 .

Briefing media persons today at Luwangsangbam, MHGEWA president Y Mangi said that since 2021, the association has been demanding an increase in Dearness Allowance (DA) from the current 14 percent to 39 percent, along with ration money benefits.

He continued that in this regard, an ultimatum was also submitted to the Governor on September 1, 2025, highlighting the long pending demands of Home Guard personnel.

"Despite several representations to the authorities, no concrete action has been taken till date", said Y Mangi while adding that the demands are legitimate and long-overdue.
