The Uttar Pradesh government said on Friday that it is making every attempt to ensure that 25,000 home guards personnel, who were removed from duty, can be deployed in the police department.

"Due to non-availability of funds from the finance department, the police department removed nearly 25,000 homeguards from service. But the government is making every attempt that the services of these jawans remain intact," Homeguards Minister Chetan Chauhan told reporters here.

Chauhan said a meeting with the police department and finance department were held on Friday.

"In the meeting, it was said that the police department needs the services of these jawans," he said. "Discussions were also held to remove paucity of funds. UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has been briefed with the outcome of the meeting."
