State government employees today said that the 3 per cent DA announcement made by Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu lacked clarity. “The announcement of 3 per cent DA, effective from May 15, has created confusion among employees. It has raised concerns regarding the fate of the pending DA installments from July 2023 and January 2024. Additionally, there is uncertainty about how the arrears from last year’s DA announcement will be disbursed,” said an employee leader.

He said, “If the government has decided to grant July 2024 DA, there is no clarity on when and how the previous two installments will be provided.”

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).
