JAMMU, Dec 10: Municipal and Urban Local Bodies Pensioners Association (MULBPA) in a meeting here today demanded hike in medical allowance to Rs. 1000 from Rs. 300.
Speakers in the meeting said that medical allowance in J&K is Rs. 300 for the last two decades but at present price of medicines and other medical related expenditure has increased to a large extent so the medical allowance should also be hiked at par with other Union Territories of India.

They also demanded release of pending DA/DR of 18 months from the month of January 2020 to ending June 2021 and urged PM Modi to instruct the authorities in this regard.
