Bribery game has been going on for many years
Let us tell you that Home Guard soldiers do not get duty throughout the year. Because the number of Home Guard soldiers is high and very few people get the duty. In this, some Home Guard officers take money from Home Guard soldiers and perform duty. Such a complaint had come earlier also. On the condition of anonymity, he said that those who pay the money get duty for the whole year and those who do not pay get duty only for 2-3 months in the year.
