Sub: Posting of Inspectors for Control Room duty ~ outsourcing of
security for the Hqrs. Building - Request of - Regardin3.
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.
