After Delhi debacle, Mann seeks to reach out to people
The New Indian Express Kannur
|February 14, 2025
HEEDING the result of the Delhi assembly election, which the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) lost, its government in Punjab went on a bonanza spree on Thursday, much before the 2027 assembly polls in the state.
The Punjab cabinet, meeting after four months, decided to disburse pending arrears worth ₹14,000 crore among state government employees and pensioners.
Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema said arrears of revised pay or pensions and leave encashment will be released from January 1, 2016, to June 30, 2022, and dearness allowance (DA) from July 1, 2021, to March 31, 2024.
Three lakh employees and an equal number of pensioners will benefit from this move.
