Accordingly, guidelines for operation and functioning of the Directorate General Resettlement (DGR) empanelled Ex-Servicemen security services have been revised and new Guidelines have been issued by DESW bearing No. 28(75)2020/D(Res-!) dated 13.05.2021 and Corrigendum No. 28(75)2020/D(Res-I) dated 53.06.2021.
