But here’s the twist: the rest? Still pending. No timeline. No date. Just promises. For state employees and pensioners waiting since 2024, it’s relief… but not full closure. Why is this important? Because money isn’t just numbers; it’s medicine, school fees, rations. The CM says ‘we’ll pay in installments’. But what if next month’s budget doesn’t allow it? And here’s the kicker; they’re also pushing a ‘world-class fruit market’ and hiring 4 more officers in Delhi. Priorities? Maybe. But for the employee on the ground? That DA arrear is life, not policy. Watch this space; because if this gets delayed again, the heat won’t just be on the weather, but on the government too.
