FM TO INAUGURAGE(?) CONFERENCE OF CCs OF CUSTOMS
Yes, the press release says that he is going to inaugurage but this obviously is only a spelling mistake; what the FM is apparently going to do is inaugurate the conference of the Chief Commissioners & Director Generals of Customs and Central Excise. What's the difference between a g and a t?
Long ago the British army had a very logical method of allotting trades to its newly recruited soldiers. Those who wrote miscellaneous wrongly were made clerks and those who spelt it correctly were made store men. The idea was that the clerks will in any case be corrected by the signing officer (which is the only job done by all our signing officers ever since) while no such checking was required or possible in the stores - whether you wrote gin as jin or ghin, it would give the same kick! Maybe CBEC should follow the same logic. Those who can spell inaugurate correctly should be posted in PR and those who can't, be posted in the Notifications section, where there could be a hierarchy of spell checkers.
Will the FM announce the much awaited promotion orders to the cadre of Chief Commissioner? Or has it wait till the conference is over?
