Shastri urged PM to intervene personally and take decisions in this regards in the next Union Cabinet meeting so that uncertainty on these issues comes to an end.
He said the next DA installment to Central, State Government employees and pensioners is becoming due at the rate of 11 percent from January 2014.
The State Government should also release immediately 10% percent DA to its employees and pensioners, he adeded.
