Siliguri, 04th July: Members of the Siliguri Court Employees Association staged a peaceful two-hour pen-down strike at the Siliguri Sub-Divisional Court on Thursday, demanding the release of their pending Dearness Allowance (DA).
The protest was carried out without disrupting court proceedings. Association members stated that despite a directive from the High Court instructing the state government to clear the DA dues within three months, no initiative has been taken so far.
Expressing frustration over the continued delay, the protesting employees said they were compelled to demonstrate under the banner of the employees’ association. They also cautioned that a larger agitation would be launched if the pending DA is not released soon.
