The Bombay Home Guards (Gujarat Amendment) Act, 1980

Defence19803 sections

This Act amends the Bombay Home Guards Act of 1947 to expand the role of the Home Guards in Gujarat. It allows the State Government to call out Home Guard members to assist police and other authorities specifically in maintaining essential services. By adding this power, the legislation ensures that these volunteer forces can be mobilized quickly during emergencies to keep critical infrastructure and public safety functioning, giving them the same legal status and privileges as they have under standard call-out procedures.
