Imphal, September 14 2025: The Manipur Home Guard Employees Welfare Association (MHGEWA) convened its Annual General Body Meeting at GM Hall, Imphal today.

Speaking at the meeting, MHGEWA president Y Mangi said that the meeting was convened to elect new officer bearers of the association and discuss the long-pending demands of Home Guard personnel.

"Over the years, home guards have been utilised in assisting in various security duties as per the guidelines of the Manipur Home Guards Act and Rules.

However, they are not given equal benefit as the personnel of Manipur Police", said Y Mangi while urging the Government to acknowledge the contributions of the Home Guards.

He asserted 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.

"MGHEWA will be launching a mass agitation in the month of October if the legitimate demands of Home Guard personnel are not materialized by September 30", said Y Mangi while all to support the agitation launched by the association.

Notably, the demands raised by the MHGEWA includes- finalizing seniority lists of Home Guards, framing guidelines or rules for promotion of Home Guards, enhancing DA corresponding to the minimum pay of a police constable from time to time as per Supreme Court's Judgment & Order, appointment of separate & full-time Commandant General for Home Guards, and extending benefits of ration money allowances.
