Imphal, June 22 2023:
A team of All Manipur VDF Employees' Guardian Association led by its chief advisor Wangkhemcha Shamjai on Thursday visited Raj Medicity to enquire about the condi tion of VDF member Laishram Nando, who was wounded in bomb blast at Sugnu, and extended monetary aid to him.
In a release, the Association informed that executives of Kakching VDF Welfare Association led by SDPO Kakching K Geetchandra also extended monetary assistance to the injured Nando.
While observing that people are aware of the roles, of VDF in maintaining law and order of the land, the Asso ciation prayed for safety of VDF personnel deployed in sensitive areas.
As there is difference in recruitment RR, VDF personnel are entitled to low emolument despite sim ilar workload as state forces.
In addition, VDF personnel are not provided basic materials including bullet proof jackets during deployment in conflict zone, the Association rued while expressing hope that authorities concerned will look into the matter and ensure provision of at-least basic protective kits.
