Morbi tiles and morbid tales
This Monday, we reported the DGCEI case on tile manufacturers in Morbi and the attack on DGCEI officers. We understand that the DGCEI chief was on an enquiry trip and has come up with some startling revelations about the local Central Excise officers tiled up with the evaders . It seems that the local Central Excise officers are not happy with the tiles trade who has coughed up Rs. 6 Crores under DGCEI pressure. The tax evaders are going to have a tough time but so are the officers who are said to be part of the scam; we hear that the DGCEI report is damning – to many officers and the North Block top brass, including the big boss is aware of the situation. True, internal vigilance is always better than an outside agency scalping a few heads!
