This is not justified. It is harassment of central government employee while IDA employee is getting full transport allowance in basket.
When the aforesaid four places are under NCR ( National Capital Region- Delhi),all the service benefits given to Delhi must be given to these places.The logic of govt. is not understood when HRA is allowed at delhi rates,why not transport allowance to these places?
