Punjab approves 8% dearness allowance hike for employees and pensioners
The Punjab government has approved an 8% dearness allowance (DA) hike for its employees and pensioners, concluding a prolonged negotiation period. The decision addresses demands that had created tension between the government and employee unions over recent weeks.
The DA increase will benefit state government staff and retired personnel across the state. The approval follows sustained pressure from employee organisations seeking better allowance revisions.
