Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has announced a 4% hike in the DA (dearness allowance) for the State government employees, a move that comes ahead of the state Assembly elections scheduled by the year-end.
Mr. Chouhan made the announcement while addressing a mass marriage function at Gillor village in Sehore district on June 23 evening.
The state government will increase the DA by 4% to bring it on par with the one offered by the centre, he said on the occasion.
