Employees, teachers and members of the working class gathered at Dharmatala to stage a protest demanding the immediate release of their pending Dearness Allowance (DA). The demonstrators raised slogans and voiced strong resentment over the delay in payment, asserting that the prolonged withholding of dues has placed financial strain on thousands of families. Protesters called upon the authorities to clear the outstanding DA without further delay, warning that larger movements could follow if their demands remain unaddressed.
