LG directs immediate appointment of 2,346 Home Guards qualifying PMET, written tests

  • | Wednesday | 13th November, 2024

Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena has directed for immediate appointment of 2346 Home Guards, who have qualified their Physical Measurement and Efficiency Test (PMET) and written test, even as other vacancies amounting to 7939 await final outcome of two pending court cases.  With this, the above-mentioned 2346 candidates, who have qualified, will not have to wait unduly.  The Lieutenant Governor has also directed that a dedicated medical camp be organized within one-week for the medical tests of the qualified candidates and subsequently hand over their appointment letters at the earliest. According to official, LG had earlier approved the enrolment of 10,285 Home Guard Volunteers in January, 2024 with provisions of 33.33% reservation for women.  Subsequently, an advertisement was issued for filling up these 10,285 vacancies on 23.01.2024 wherein 1,09,001 applicants had applied but only 32,511 reported for the PMET. In the interim, certain applicants moved the High Court on various issues whereby the Court ordered maintenance of status quo while a decision was taken.  However, 2346 candidates were free from encumbrance arising out of these court cases and the LG has approved their appointment after medical test so as to ensure that they do not face any undue delay in their appointments. Saxena has also directed the DG Home Guards to ensure that the remaining 7939 vacancies are also filled at the earliest after taking cognisance of the decisions of the High Court in related matters.
