DA hike update: Will Mamata Banerjee government provide increment to select employees?

Government employees in West Bengal are currently receiving a Dearness Allowance (DA) of only 14% under the 6th Pay Commission, while central government employees receive 53% under the 7th Pay Commission. Amidst this disparity, new information has emerged, suggesting that the Mamata Banerjee government might provide DA to select employees.

West Bengal government employees receive only 14% DA under the 6th Pay Commission. Naturally, the level of resentment among employees is steadily increasing.

Despite repeated filings in the Supreme Court, the case hasn't been heard, disheartening many employees. Will the Mamata Banerjee government provide DA to select employees?

It's suggested that select employees from each department will receive a DA increase. Is this news accurate? The state government has provided a major update on this issue.

A section of state government employees are now in conflict with each other over the DA issue. While central and other state government employees see DA increases, West Bengal employees haven't experienced this.

When will government employees start protesting again?

State government employees will protest for demands like DA at central rates and clearing DA arrears. The Joint Forum convenors stated that the protests will continue until their demands are met and DA is provided at central rates.

Nirjhar Kundu, a prominent figure in the DA protests, criticized a section of state government employees. Nirjhar sarcastically remarked that some employees will soon receive 'DA' and openly criticized a section of state government employees.
