            Sub: Proposal for Creation of Protocol Cell at IGI Airport-reg.
Sir,
            Kindly refer to the letter of Delhi Unit of the Association on the above matter.     
2. As the Association came to know, it is to submit with due regards that the administration is going to create a Protocol Cell at IGI Airport for the exclusive purpose of protocol and facilitation. The tenure of the posting in this cell is proposed to be five years with further extension for two years.
3. As per the transfer/posting policy, the tenure for Customs posting is four years. Out of these four years, the tenure for IGI Airport is one year. The tenure for the officers come on deputation is two years.
4. The officers are also rotated from sensitive to non-sensitive seats after completion of six months as per the policy. The posting at protocol and facilitation counter is the part of baggage and falls under the sensitive charge on account of a lot of public dealing being involved in it.
5. In the present system/setup, the officers are posted in each shift to perform the work of protocol and facilitation. No need to say that the current system is going very smoothly for decades. The above said proposal will create different categories with different tenures among the officers of the same cadre posted at the same place resulting into the dissatisfaction among the cadre.
6. Further, the officers posted in Customs are supposed to work as per the Customs Act, 1962. Their responsibilities are already defined as per the Act. The work in r/o the proposed cell is not in the lines of the functions/responsibilities as defined in the Act. Nor such a long tenure has been prescribed in the transfer/posting policy. The proposed tenure of 5+2 years is also against the CVC norms/policy of 2 to 3 years postings at the same place. It is also worth to mention that the possibility of the misuse of power and connivance with the miscreants may not be ruled out on account of the long stay on a particular seat.
7. Thus, as mentioned by the VIth CPC, the possibility of cozy arrangements between the officers of a particular taste and the interested parties on account of such a long tenure at a particular seat may also not be ruled out. The said situation is necessarily to be avoided under any circumstances. The creation of the said cell may also give rise to the incidents of favouritism and partiality in for the officers having a particular type of taste. So, in the present time of total transparency, we have to avoid any step for creation of such type of cell and only the prescribed official guidelines are required to be followed for protocol duties without any degradation of the officers.
8. In view of above, it appears that the said proposal is neither in the lines of Customs Act nor the existing transfer/posting policy or the interest of the officers of the department.
9. Therefore, it is requested not to create such type of any cell.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,


(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.

North Block, New Delhi        
Sub: Dwarka Residential Project at Delhi-reg.
Sir,
            Kindly refer to the letter of Delhi Unit of the Association on the above matter.     
2. It is to submit with due regards that the department is in possession of a plot of an area of about two Hectares in Sector-9, Dwarka, New Delhi under the administrative control of CCA (DZ), Delhi. Further, it has come to the notice of the Association that the department has signed the MoU for the construction of residential quarters for Type-IV & above on this land.
3. It is to submit further that there is already a scarcity of Type-II and Type-III residential quarters in proportion to the working strength in Delhi Zone. The total working strength of the Inspectors and Superintendents in the Zone is approximately more than 2700. Similarly, the working strength of the Executive Assistants and Tax Assistants is approximately more than 390.
4. Only 141 quarters of Type III and 87 quarters of Type II departmental pool are available with the department in Delhi to cater the demand of the staff for quarters. The recruitment of the Tax Assistants and Inspectors is on the basis of All India Seniority of SSC Examination. Thus, they come from the different parts of the country and face great difficulty in finding accommodation on joining the job due to the scarcity of the govt. accommodation in departmental pool in Delhi. No need to submit that there is also a long waiting list for general pool accommodation based on the seniority in central govt. job.
5. It is, therefore, requested that the Type II & Type III quarters alongwith Transit Hostel may also kindly be constructed under the Dwarka project on the actual demand or sanction strength basis.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,


(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.
