National council / JCM strongly protests against the delay in announcement of Dearness Allowance and demands that it should be announced immediately to avoid confrontation.

Two decades before, the trade unions are used to protest and demonstrate struggles to pressurize the government to declare the dearness allowance. Now we are back to the same old bad days. The same old days are coming back now. The trade union federations gave enough time to the government and waited patiently. Since the announcement for the payment of Dearness Allowance is being delayed ..what  will be our action? please send your views 

HAPPY VISHU
