West Bengal government employees have been protesting for a long time demanding dearness allowance (DA) at central rates. Despite numerous attempts, no resolution has been reached. Now, the state government employees are planning to take a significant step, putting pressure on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee
West Bengal government employees intensify their protest at the end of the year on Mamata Banerjee government to increase DA allowances
They are planning to intensify their protest demanding dearness allowance (DA) as per the All India Price Index
Protests will be held on December 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, demanding DA as per the All India Price Index and other demands
Sit-in protests will be held in front of Nabanna for these three days. It is understood that this program will continue for three days every year until the demands are met
Not just in December, on January 27, 2025, at 12 noon, state government employees will gather at Subodh Mallick Square to demand their rightful DA. From there, they will march to Shahid Minar
A mass gathering will be held there. But if that doesn't work, the West Bengal government employees have threatened to paralyze Kolkata from all sides
West Bengal government employees say that their suffering has increased compared to last time. The DA gap has widened. Vacancies have increased. The state government's foundation has also been shaken compared to last time
Currently, government employees in this state are receiving 14% DA under the Sixth Pay Commission. Earlier, government employees were getting 6% DA
After two DA increases of 4% each this year, it has reached 14%. Meanwhile, the DA of central government employees has recently increased to 53%. The DA gap for state employees has increased to 39%
Meanwhile, several reports claim that the Eighth Pay Commission for central government employees may come into effect from January 1, 2026
