"Keeping in view the security situation obtaining in the state and the role played by the VDCs, there is no proposal to disband them," the state government said in a written reply to a question asked by National Conference MLA Ali Mohammad Sagar in the Legislative Assembly.
Sagar had asked about the steps taken by the government to disband the VDCs in view of the "increasing massive human rights violations like murder, rape, rioting and misuse of the alloted weapons by the members of the VDCs".
Three cases were not admitted by the courts while two were declared "untraced".
In 205 cases, charge sheet has been filed before the competent court of law while seven cases are "under investigation", the government said.

Only five members were convicted, it added.
"However, it may be emphasised that as and when, any VDC member is found involved in any act of misuse of his alloted weapon, he is immediately disengaged and appropriate action as warranted under law is initiated against him," the government said.
