Walk out by Income Tax employees
Strange it may sound, but the Income Tax employees have been staging a Walk Out after lunch hour over the past few days expressing their displeasure over appointment of private security personnel to guard their office premises at Piramal Chambers , Mumbai.
Walk Outs are a favourite past time of our politicians and the government employees seem to have picked up these traits!
We do not know which side is right, whether the Association or the administration which has attempted to explain to the Association that the present deployment of private security is on account of the terrorist threat perception being faced by government offices.
By the way, the same building also houses the offices of the Director General of Service Tax, the Chief Commissioner of Central Excise, and the Commissioner of Central Excise – but they seem to be least perturbed.
We hope that the matter is resolved at the earliest and the taxpayers are not inconvenienced.
