DA increase

Sir, — The concept of extending the Dearness Allowance increase granted to the Central government staff and pensioners to Government employees and pensioners in Tamil Nadu was ordered by M.G. Ramachandran as Chief Minister and has been followed faithfully since then. But this year, this has been ignored subjecting the beneficiaries to hardship. Will the Chief Minister sanction the long overdue increase in DA?
