MP, Chhattisgarh End Mutual Consent for DR Hikes

Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh have decided that they no longer need each other's permission to give extra money to retired people.

This extra money is called Dearness Relief (DR) and helps with the cost of living.

Before, one state had to wait for the other to agree before giving this extra money.

Now, they can do it faster and easier.

They will use special orders to make this change, and they will tell each other if it costs more money.

But they won't give more DR than what the central government says is okay.

This change started right away on Friday.
