Thousands of Home Guard Jawans from all districts of Jharkhand state participated in this general meeting. State General Secretary Rajiv Kumar Tiwari said that in Jharkhand, the duty is very less in proportion to the number of Home Guard Jawans. Mr. Tiwari said that Jharkhand government should issue an order to give 365 days duty to Home Guard Jawans like Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Bengal states.

      During the meeting, female Home Guard Jawan Chinta Devi of Bokaro district said that women get 50% reservation in recruitment but at the time of giving duty, women are not given any kind of reservation due to which a large number of women are not able to get duty.
