The chaukidars of panchayati Unions in which the system of fortnightly parades before the Presidents of panchayats is in force shall attend the thana parades once a month only, half the number of chaukidars of each Union parading on one day and the other half a fortnight later, the parades being fixed on days and weeks other than those fixed for parades before the President of panchayats. In the month in which the chaukidars are paid they shall all attend on the day fixed for the pay parade. Chaukidars who are unable, on account of illness, to attend shall send all information which they would report, if present, through the dafadar or a neighbouring chaukidar. This does not affect the liability of the chaukidars to attend at the thana on other occasions to fulfil any other statutory obligation.
