JAMMU, July 18: National Mazdoor Conference (NMC) on Sunday appealed J&K LG to release 11 per cent DA for J&K employees and pensioners as the same has already been released by the Union Government to its employees and pensioners.
“DA is part of salary and routine financial matter and as such there should be no hitch in releasing it,” NMC president Subash Shastri said while addressing a meeting here.
On decision of Union government in releasing 11 per cent DA, Shastri hoped that this much needed decision of the government would alleviate the financial sufferings of employees and pensioners caused by the COVID crisis.
