The Andaman and Nicobar Islands Home Guards Regulation 1964

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands Home Guards Regulation 1964 establishes a voluntary auxiliary force to support police in maintaining public order, safety, and emergency relief. It authorizes local officials to appoint residents as Home Guard members, manage their service terms, and call them up for active duty when required. During service, members receive official powers, legal protections, and allowances, while employers must guarantee their job reinstatement and protect their workplace rights. By standardizing recruitment, discipline, and compensation, this legislation ensures a trained, organized reserve force is ready to safeguard the islands during critical situations.
