JAMMU, May 8: National Mazdoor Conference (NMC) today appealed the State Government to release 10 per cent Dearness Allowance (DA) due from January last in favour of its employees and pensioners.
Alleging that the same has been released by the Government of Haryana to its employees and pensioners yesterday, NMC president, Subash Shastri, appealed the J&K Government to release 10 per cent DA due from January last in favour of its employees and pensioners to neutralise the affect of inflation and price hike.
There should be no hitch in release of pending installment, when the election of all the six seats of Lok Sabha is already over in J&K and there is no bearing of Model Code of Conduct, Shastri said while addressing a workers’ rally at village Marh in Jammu district.
Referring to the forthcoming first meeting of the State Cabinet being held in the summer capital of State by this month, Shastri hoped that it will provide relief to the employees of the State Government and pensioners and their many long pending demands would get addressed.
