Govt should bring out a slew of welfare benefits for its employees after its recent freezing of DA . Those living in govt accommodation may be allowed to retain after permissible time for a further period of 24 months on payment of hra fixed by govt according to grade paye. This will bring relief to the pensioners and families of those deceased while in service.

This may apply to those due to vacate in 2020 and 2021. It will also bring in income to the government.
