RAMBAN, Sept 26: Senior BJP leader and former MLA Neelam Langeh said that the proposed move by the Government for setting 38 percent Dearness Allowance (DA) for the Government employees will ensure adequate hike in perks and in many cases will end the exploitation of the working class.
In a statement issued to media persons, the BJP leader asserted that the Advisory Board set up by the Jammu and Kashmir Government for revision of Minimum Wages under the Minimum Wages Act, which also covers the issue of nearly one lakh daily wagers some of whom are on strike for past several days, has reportedly recommended 38 percent Dearness Allowance (DA) which has become applicable for the Government employees since last wage revision in October 2017 will ensure that no segment of the working class in the Government is subjected to exploitation.
Langeh said that the decision is the testimony to the fact that the Government is sincerely taking steps to ensure welfare of all the employees coming under the realms of Government sector. He said that those daily wagers who are presently on strike should reconsider their decision as Government is committed to their welfare and is doing everything possible to ameliorate things as soon as possible.
