MARGAO
Expressing remorse over the deaths of four Home Guards at a much younger age in the past few months, Margao’s ex-home guard and women cell leader of the Aam Aadmi Party has once again alleged insensitivity on part of the government to their just demands.
She said that the government had neglected the welfare of the Home Guards for too long, while they suffered health problems and deaths at a much younger age leaving their families in distress.
She also said that if the government fails to address their demands within the next one month, she would urge her party to seek the intervention of the High Court to prevent further exploitation of the workforce which she said was working shoulder to shoulder with the police.
“Four of my colleagues in Home Guards have died premature deaths in recent months. Is the government so insensitive that it cannot see theirs and their families’ plight? I spent my whole life and received nothing in the end. I don’t wish my other friends to end up like me,” said Vimal and urged the government to forthwith consider the Home Guards’ demands.
