JAMMU, June 18: National Mazdoor Conference (NMC) president, Subash Shastri has demanded increase in monthly Medical Allowance of pensioners from the existing Rs. 300 to Rs. 1000.
Addressing a meeting of NMC workers here today Shastri said that the current Medical Allowance of Rs. 300 is there for the last over two decades despite the steep rise in cost of medicines and other medical expenses.
He also demanded two per cent hike in HRA for J&K employees as the DA has already crossed 50 per cent threshold.

Regularization of all daily rated workers under SRO 64 was another demand raised by Shastri.
