- On Thursday, the Supreme Court directed the West Bengal administration to release one-quarter of the outstanding Dearness Allowance to its state employees as a temporary relief, with the payment to be completed within the next three months.

- Thousands of state employees have been waiting for their pending DA payments for several months and continue to demonstrate, demanding that their dearness allowance be equalized with that of central government staff through their coalition of state government worker groups.
- BJP leader Amit Malviya described the Supreme Court’s directive as a significant achievement for government employees in West Bengal and the BJP’s state unit, while Opposition Leader Suvendu Adhikari expressed support for the court’s decision.
- The interim payment offers financial relief to employees though the balance DA arrears will be considered at the August hearing, and the state’s compliance remains closely watched.
