Your attention is drawn to the representation dated 28.01.2015 of All India Central Excise Inspectors Association requesting for exemption from attending Control Room duties and outsourcing the security for the Headquarters building, In this regard, it appears that there is a force in their point. Since our service is not just a security service, suddenly some technical/legal issue ray come up any time therefore the availability of Inspector round the clock is absolutely necessary particularly during the night times. Night duty Inspector is not just a security guard He is an all-rounder and care taker, advisor in the event of some untoward incident and can coordinate with the senior officers. Therefore, Control Room duty cannot be avoided. Since, during day time PRO and other officers are available. The Control Room duty for Inspectors during day time is not warranted and therefore PRO/Sepoys can attend the Control Room duty work. The Night duty, however should be continued exempting lady officers. Further, you are requested to explore the possibility for outsourcing the security activities of the building round the clock to a reputed Security Agency 0% par with Income Tax Establishments as suggested by the Association.
