The ongoing dispute between the West Bengal government and its employees over the issue of dearness allowance (DA) remains unresolved, causing frustration among workers. Despite the issuance of guidelines earlier this year for increasing the salaries of contractual and temporary employees, including those in the Jalasathi Workers Union of the West Bengal Surface Transport Corporation, no actual hike in DA or salaries has been implemented as the year approaches its end. This has led to growing discontent and calls for protests from government employees.
The situation has raised broader concerns among other state government employees about their financial future. Many worry whether similar delays or denials might extend to other departments, intensifying uncertainty. The longstanding claim of financial strain on the state government, with reports of empty coffers, has only added to the anxiety surrounding salary hikes and DA adjustments.
With the unrest among employees escalating, pressure is mounting on the state government to address these issues promptly. Questions about whether financial constraints will continue to delay salary revisions remain unanswered, and a resolution is being urgently sought to restore confidence among the workforce and avoid further disruptions.
