Saharanpur, Rural Chowkidar Vikas Kalyan Samiti Uttar Pradesh submitted a memorandum to National President of Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) and Nagina MP Adv. Chandrashekhar Azad and demanded to raise voice for salary hike of village guard chowkidars of Uttar Pradesh and to provide them with the status of state employee and other facilities. The office bearers and members of the committee reached the MP residence in Chhutmalpur and congratulated Chandrashekhar Azad on his birthday and honoured him by expressing gratitude for raising the voice of chowkidars in the last Parliament session.
In the memorandum given to the Parliament, it has been said that the demands of Chowkidar/Gram Prahari were conveyed to the government administration for many years through love meetings, Gramin Chowkidar Vikas Kalyan Samiti UP and Gram Prahari Adhikar Morcha, from all the districts of the state to the capital Lucknow, related to the authority salary increase of all the Gram Prahari Chowkidar. Before the formation of the then Bharatiya Janata Party government, the representatives of the Chowkidar organization were called to the BJP office in Lucknow and it was promised that if the Bharatiya Janata Party government is formed, then the Gram Praharis/Chowkidars of Uttar Pradesh will be regularized and given the status of state employees. If the government is not formed, then the honorarium of Rs. 10500 will be given by the central government, but despite the formation of government twice in the state, the demands were not met. Gram Praharis keep watch over the village 24 hours a day, 30 days a week and inform the police stations about criminal activities, in return for this, they are being given Rs. 2500 as meager salary instead of salary. Which is very less in this inflation. It is requested to the Chief Minister that the demands of the village guards/chowkidars should be fulfilled. The village guards/chowkidars of the state should be regularized and given the status of state employees by increasing their salary, the village guards/chowkidars should be given authority as per the Uttar Pradesh Police Regulation, the village guards/chowkidars should be given free treatment and insurance up to Rs 10 lakh in case of any incident or accident. MP Chandrashekhar Azad assured them to raise the voice of the chowkidars and work towards fulfilling their demands. Among those who submitted the memorandum were the provincial president of the organization Anar Chand Gautam, district president Muhammad Mansoor Ali, spokesperson Vishwas Kumar, Sameer Chand, Ghanshyam, Shyam Kumar, Jahangir, Sonu, Anees, Dharampal, Bharat Singh, Rish and Tejpal etc.
