The home guards posted for the security of historical Makkah Masjid complained that they are not given deputation allowance by the Minority Welfare Department. Apart from this the information passed on to media persons by the Makkah Masjid superintendent regarding their salaries is incorrect.
Makkah Masjid Superintendent Nayeemuddin had told that each home guard is paid Rs. 6700 per month by the minority Welfare, but on the contrary the home guards are paid only Rs. 6000 per month that is Rs. 200 per day.
As per the regulations home guards should be paid an allowance of Rs. 25 per day in case of their deputation in any institution but these home guards have not been paid the allowance since December 2008. Minority welfare department and Makkah Masjid administration fail to give any clarification in this regard.
