The AIADMK coordinator, O. Panneerselvam, on Sunday urged the DMK government, on behalf of his party, to take steps to increase the dearness allowance (DA) of the State government employees, teachers and pensioners by 3% with effect from January 1 this year.
Though the Union government on March 31 this year announced a 3% hike in the DA of its employees with effect from January 1 this year, the Tamil Nadu government had not made any announcement in this regard so far, he said.
