Nearly seven years ago, DDT 684 reported that the premier investigation agency is grossly understaffed with over 22% of the posts lying vacant; that against the sanctioned strength of 5959, the number of vacant posts is 1341. It appears that the situation has slightly improved with the vacancy now being below 1000.
But for some strange reason, there seems to be no shortage of Revenue officers in the country - after the Cadre Review they are swarming all over the place.
