“As cost of essential items has increased manifolds, employees and pensioners of both Central/State Governments should be provide immediate financial relief in releasing this installment of DA in the upcoming Union Cabinet meeting,” NMC president Subhash Shastri said while addressing a well attended meeting of workers here.
