JAMMU, Oct 14: National Mazdoor Conference (NMC) president Subash Shastri today urged upon the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to announce the pending two installments of 17 percent DA due from January and July last in favor of State Government employees and pensioners in cash well before Diwali festival.
Addressing a well attended NMC activists’ rally, Shastri urged the Government to take decision at the next Cabinet meeting as goodwill gesture since the same two installments of DA have been released by the Central as well as several State Governments of the country. Early release of due installments of DA would be genuine measure to provide some relief to employees and pensioners in current festivals season, he added.
Pleading the cause of Casual/seasonal labour ad-hoc and contractual employees working in the various departments of the State Government, Shastri also demanded release of their salary on the eve of Diwali and Vishwakarma Day festivals beside their immediate regularization.
