The move comes as a relief for government employees across the state, allowing them to meet festive expenses smoothly. Treasury offices have been instructed to facilitate the process without delay.
Durga Puja, one of the biggest festivals in Assam and the entire northeast, will begin in early October this year, and the early release of salaries is expected to boost both household spending and local markets.
