JAMMU, July 16: Municipal & Local Bodies Pensioners Association (MLBPA) in a meeting has expressed dismay that the central government has denied benefits of three frozen instalments of Dearness Allowance and Dearness Relief (DA & DR) due from January 1, 2020 to ending June 2021.
Speaking in the meeting, Association leaders urged upon PM Modi to review the decision in this regard.
