The Himachal Pradesh Pensioners’ Welfare Association (HPPWA) has urged the state government to seek permission from the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) for releasing two instalments of dearness allowance (DA) to its employees and pensioners immediately after the voting process.

HPPWA chief spokesperson PC Oberoi said here today that the Central Government announced DA for its employees and pensioners on January 1 and July 1 every year, which every state follows.

Oberoi said the Central Government had announced DA at the rate of three per cent from January 1, 2022, and four per cent from July 1, 2022, but the state government had not paid to its employees and pensioners even after lapse of 10 months.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
