Tripura govt faces staff ire over Dearness Allowance

   The Left Front government in Tripura now  confronts the growing ire of the state’s 1.5 lakh employees after  defaulting consistently on payment of dearness allowance.

    A convention of all employees  associations, cutting across political affiliations, has been called on  July 31 to decide on the next course of action.

    On July 16, the state government had  announced two per cent DA in monthly instalments for the employees as  against five per cent according to slabs of consumer price index,  sparking resentment among employees. This year’s first instalment in  January had been only three per cent.


    Another left ruled state, West Bengal  employees are also lagging behind @ 27% D.A. while most of the states  are paying Dearness Allowance at the Central rate.

    Central government employees are  receiving 35 per cent of dearness allowance as against 24 per cent given  to the Tripura state’s employees.

   There as another installment of D.A. is due  to the central employees w.e.f. 01.07.2010 @ 9 to 10% which is to be  announced in September this year and make the gap larger.
