Dated: 24.04.2020
CONFEDERATION OF CENTRAL GOVT EMPLOYEES AND WORKERS STRONGLY OPPOSE DA & DR FREEZING.
———————————————–
Central Government’s decision to freeze three instalments of Dearness Allowance (DA) of Central Government Employees and Dearness Relief (DR) of Pensioners from 01.01.2020 to 30.06.2021 is a severe and unexpected blow to the Central Government Employees and Pensioners. Already most of the Central Government employees and Pensioners have contributed one day’s salary and Pension to PM CARES Fund.
Confederation strongly oppose and protest the unilateral decision of the Central Government. We demand the Government to review the decision immediately and withdraw the DA & DR freezing orders.
Confederation CHQ is in touch with National Council (JCM) Staff Side Secretary and other leaders. Efforts are being made to arrive at a united stand and convey the same to Government through Secretary, JCM Staff Side. Detailed statement of Confederation will be issued shortly.

Excellent action, why give double blow to employees.Could have stopped one month DA when one day salary being deducted.

I am also with you sir
Ashok says
Before freezing da/dr central gov should remember that da/dr is due from January 2020,when India was free from corona.so why should we be punished now?2-the gov should control the price of each and everythings accordingly so that no one can object it.3-would be retired employees should not be looser during this period.
