The Punjab Home Guards department has not issued vouchers to its volunteers for free travel in roadway buses even more than 14 years after the government took the decision. At a meeting of ministers in December 2011, the state government approved recommendations of the cabinet committee to offer free bus travel facilities to Home Guard volunteers in roadway buses. Volunteers said they have yet to receive vouchers.
Sources in the Director General Office (home guards) said that the finance department had refused to issue a requisite notification.
