Agartala: March 05.  Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha on Tuesday declared a 5% Dearness Allowance (DA) effective from January 1, 2024.

This marks the second time under his leadership that such an announcement has been made.

Addressing the Tripura Legislative Assembly on the third day on Tuesday, Chief Minister Dr. Saha highlighted the government’s commitment to supporting its workforce, even during challenging times such as the Covid-19 pandemic.
