JAMMU, July 29: All J&K Low Paid Employees Federation (LPEF) has strongly urged the Government to immediately release 6% DA installment from January 2015 in favour of State employees and pensioners in order to relieve them from undue miseries they have been facing due to unprecedented increase in prices of essential commodities.
State president of the Federation, Abdul Majid Khan alleged that due to inordinate delay in releasing the DA amount by the Government, a sense of anguish and anger has grown among the employees and pensioners throughout the State. Khan urged the Government to release the 6% DA to employees and pensioners.
He also highlighted other demands including enhancement of medical allowance to Rs 1000, similarly raising daily wage to Rs 350 and remuneration of village guards at par with minimum daily wage in vogue in the State.
He recalled that there are certain other disparities of amenities and facilities between the State and Central employees and pensioners like children educational allowance and raising pension by 20, 30,40, 50 and 100% after 80, 85, 90 and 100 years of age of pensioners etc which are also required to be removed on priority basis by the State Government.
