For Jammu and Kashmir, the Ministry of Home Affairs has given approval for the formation of Village Defence Groups (VDGs), whose members will be designated as Village Defence Guards.
In more vulnerable areas, the order stated that persons (VI category) who shall be leading/ coordinating the VDG would be paid of Rs 4500 per month and other persons (V2 category) who are members of these VDGS on a voluntary basis will be paid a uniform rate Rs 4000 per month.
As per the order, VDGs will function under the direction of SP/SSP of the concerned district.
The revised scheme will, however, be made effective only after apprising the High Court.
In case of vacancy, the decision to fill up the same will be taken later.
