The Haryana government has increased the monthly allowance of rural watchmen by ₹4,000 and will distribute festive gifts before Diwali.
The Haryana government announced that the monthly allowance of rural watchmen will be increased by ₹4,000, effective from the next pay cycle. The decision comes as part of a broader initiative to recognize the role of these officers in maintaining law and order in villages.
In addition to the pay hike, the state will distribute festive gifts to the watchmen before the Diwali celebrations. The gifts are intended to boost morale and show appreciation for their service.
The announcement was made by the state’s Home Department officials during a press briefing. The increase is expected to be reflected in the next salary disbursement and will provide a modest financial boost to the watchmen and their families.
The move is seen as a timely gesture ahead of the festival season, when many rural communities rely on the watchmen for security and emergency response.
