This is the biggest gift of Modi government to the central government employees who are fighting as warriors against Corona virus in the country. And hopefully the state governments will also give this gift to their state govt employees very soon. So congratulations to all the warriors

The centre govt decision in this regard is not acceptable. the govt must roll back its decision in the interests of cge.
Vivek says
On one side this govt is talking of giving relief to all the sectors in order to boost their economic condition and on the other hand it decided to freeze the DA for central govt employees when the situation is such that price of every essential commodity and essential services hiked in the name of corona as we are seeing everyday in the news channel. This govt should reconsider his this decision. This govt did not merge the DA as it was planned during 6th pay commission and not given the 7th pay commission as per the existing situation.
