New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): The central government may announce a significant increase in the Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR) for its employees and pensioners ahead of Holi. The announcement is expected to be made next week, bringing good news to approximately 1.2 crore central government employees and pensioners. This increase will provide financial relief to a large section of government workers just before the festival.

The move is seen as a gesture to assist employees and pensioners with rising living costs. The government’s decision to raise DA and DR is in line with its efforts to support public sector workers during challenging times. As Holi approaches, this announcement will surely be a welcomed gift for many.
