AGARTALA, March 7 (TIWN): State’s Teaching employees who had undergone a massive loss after BJP led State Govt betrayed to the promise of Pay Matrix effect from 2016, January 1st, instead started 2018, October, now suffering from loss of DA. Whereas the previous Manik Sarkar Govt used to clear 5% DA in each 6 months, but BJP Govt has kept the plate empty without paying off a single DA since established in power. Right now 17% DA are pending. Since BJP Govt has taken charge, massive pending DAs have erupted resentment among the Govt employees. Opposition parties leaders have lashed out the BJP over pending DAs after merely 0.32% hike in the name of 7th Pay Commission. Even though employees were expecting 7th Pay Commission with the effect of 2016 , but the Pay-Matrix's effect came in effect from 2018, October, unmatched with BJP's promise to the employees, pensioners done before election. Eventhough it is March month, but so far no good news has come to the State Govt employees.
