Mizoram news: The Mizoram government today (October 3) approved a proposal to hike the dearness allowance of its employees by 4 per cent from November. The decision was taken in a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Lalduhoma, an official said.

The hike in DA is a Christmas gift and will come into effect from November, he said. With the increase in the allowance, the government employees will receive 40 per cent of basic pay as DA, the official said.

The Gauhati High Court has recently directed the Mizoram government to establish a state human rights commission. The division bench of Chief Justice Vijay Bishnoi and Justice Michael Zothankhuma gave a two-month time to the Mizoram government to set up the commission.

More details are awaited in this regard.
