Officers get second DA instalment: All IAS, IPS and IFS officers in Punjab have got their second instalment of dearness allowance (DA) of 10 per cent. The state government has decided to give them the DA from July 1. Sources said since the second DA hike for 2013 for all Central government employees was announced in September, the state government was liable to pay them arrears and enhanced DA at the earliest.
