ICT colleagues want to return in original Zone

Dear Comrades,

Some of our colleagues, who were joined in Jaipur Zone consequent upon their ICT have approached with desire to return in their original Zone.

Though there is no such provision for the same, but they suggested for efforts in this regard. One of our resourceful comrades Samir Sinha of Patna has already then up the matter with the DGHRD, but positive response not received so far. During my recent discussion comrade Sinha intimated that there are many colleagues in different Zones, who want to return in their original Zone/Commissionerate and we can again take up the matter with DGHRD through the Federation.

In view of above, such willing colleagues are hereby requested to submit their written willingness to the Association for further necessary action.
Yours comradely,

सेंट्रल एक्साइज़ की एंटि-एवीजन टीम के साथ उधमियों की अभद्रता और जान से मारने की धमकी के मामले का परिणाम

 
 
 
Dated: 12th July, 2014

प्रेस-नोट
कस्टम एंड सेंट्रल एक्साइज़ टीम के साथ अभद्रता और धमकी का मामला

उधमी संगठन ने माफ़ी मांगी और सहयोग के वादे से मामला निपटाया
      कस्टम एंड सेंट्रल एक्साइज़ की एंटि-एवीजन टीम ने पिछले सप्ताह जयपुर शहर के वी.के.आई. एरिया मे श्याम सुंदर अग्रवाल की “नेशनल रबर वर्क्स” फेक्ट्री मे छापा मारकर सेंट्रल एक्साइज़ ड्यूटि की चोरी तथा नामी कम्पनियो की नकली  वाहन ट्यूब बनाने का मामला उजागर करके 1.47 करोड़ रुपये का माल सीज़ किया था।

      छापे की कारवाई के शुरू मे तो अग्रवाल ने टीम तथा अधिकारियों पर इधर-उधर से दबाव बनाने की कोशिश की, लेकिन अधिकारी दबाव मे नहीं आए तो अग्रवाल ने वी.के.आई. एरिया की एसोसियशन को बुलाया।  वी.के.आई. एरिया की एसोसियशन के प्रेम पोद्दार, जगदीश सोमानी इत्यादि 35-40 लोगों के साथ फेक्ट्री मे जबरन घुस गए और एंटि-एवीजन टीम के साथ अभद्रता की तथा जान से मारने की धमकी देते हुए छापे की कारवाई रोकने की कोशिश की। मामले की नजाकत को भापते हुए विभाग के उच्चाधिकारी पुलिस बल के साथ मोके पर पहुंचे।  एंटि-एवीजन टीम ने पुलिस पहरे मे माल जब्ती की कारवाई को पूरा किया तथा महत्वपूर्ण दस्तावेज़ो को कब्जे मे लिया था।
      मंगलवार को इंस्पेक्टर्स एंड सुप्रीडेंट्स एसोसियशन ने विभागीय टीम के साथ अभद्रता और धमकी की घटना की कड़ी निन्दा की तथा सेंट्रल एक्साइज़ कमिश्नर तथा चीफ़ कमिश्नर से मिलकर घटना मे शामिल उधमियों के खिलाफ एफआईआर भी दर्ज कराने की मांग की थी।

      विभागीय इंस्पेक्टर्स एसोसियशन के प्रदेशाधक्ष बी.एल. मीना ने केडर के आत्म-समान्न तथा विभाग की छवि की रक्षा के लिए टीम के साथ उधमियों की अभद्रता और धमकी को एसोसियशन के ब्लॉग पर “उधमियों द्वारा चोरी और सीना-जोरी” शीर्षक के तहत प्रमुखता से प्रकाशित किया तथा आल इण्डिया फेडरेशन के सहयोग से मामले मे कड़ी कानूनी कारवाई के लिए केन्द्रीय वित्त-मंत्रालय के उच्चाधिकारियों तक आवाज उठाई थी।
      विभागीय एसोसियशन के आक्रोश, दबाव तथा उच्चाधिकारियों की नाराजगी को देखते हुये उधमियों की एसोसियशन के प्रतिनिधी-मण्डल के रूप मे प्रेम पोद्दार, जगदीश सोमानी, परशरामपुरिया इत्यादि चीफ़ कमिश्नर ऑफ सेंट्रल एक्साइज़ के सामने उपस्थित हुये, घटना को दुर्भाग्यपुर्ण बताते हुये माफ़ी मांगी, वानछित सहयोग तथा भविष्य मे एसी पुरावर्ती नहीं करने का वादा किया। कर चोरी करने वाले उधमी श्याम सुंदर अग्रवाल ने अपनी फेक्टरी का सेंट्रल एक्साइज़ मे पंजीयन कराने के लिए आवेदन कर दिया है।
     शुक्रवार को विभागीय इंस्पेक्टर्स एंड सुप्रीडेंट्स एसोसियशन की चीफ़ कमिश्नर के साथ तीसरे राउंड की वार्ता हुई, जिसमे चीफ़ कमिश्नर ने उधमियों के प्रतिनिधी-मण्डल के बदले हुये रवये, सहयोग तथा भविष्य मे एसी पुरावर्ती नहीं करने के वादे को देखते हुये दुर्भाग्यपुर्ण घटना मे एफआईआर दर्ज कराने की मांग को छोड़ने का आग्रह किया। विभागीय एसोसियशन के पदाधिकारियों ने चीफ़ कमिश्नर को बताया कि प्रशासन द्वारा एफआईआर दर्ज नहीं कराने पर पीड़ित इंस्पेक्टर्स एंड सुप्रीडेंट्स द्वारा एफआईआर दर्ज कराई जावेगी। इस पर चीफ़ कमिश्नर ने उधमियों की पहली गलती एवं निवेदन को देखते हुये दुर्भाग्यपुर्ण घटना मे एफआईआर दर्ज कराने की बजाए उधमियों को एक अवसर देने की समझाइस मे कहा “जो तोकों कांटे देय.............वाकों है त्रिसुल”। वार्ता के अंत मे विभागीय एसोसियशन के पदाधिकारियों ने विभाग के “संरक्षक” चीफ कमिश्नर से सहमत होते हुये इस बार एफआईआर दर्ज नहीं कराने पर सहमति हुए।
      वार्ता मे चीफ़ कमिश्नर ने विभागीय एसोसियशन के पदाधिकारियों को बताया कि छापे की भावी करवाहियों मे स्टाफ की सुरुक्षा के लिए प्रभावी रणनीति अपनाई जावेगी और कर चोरो तथा सरकारी काम मे बाधा डालने वाले असामाजिक तत्वो के खिलाफ कानून के तहत कड़ी कार्यवाही की जावेगी।
उधमियों की अभद्रता और धमकी का बजट मे असर:-
सेंट्रल एक्साइज़ कानून मे से उधमियों की गिरफ़्तारी के प्रावधान को हटाने की पुरानी मांग थी और बजट मे उधमियों की इस मांग को मानने की पूरी संभावना थी, लेकिन आम बजट के ठीक पहले उधमियों की इस हरकत को देखते हुये कानून मे से गिरफ़्तारी के प्रावधान को हटाने की मांग पर पानी फिर गया क्योकि राजस्थान सेंट्रल एक्साइज़ इंस्पेक्टर्स एसोसियशन ने छापे की कारवाई मे उधमियों की अभद्रता और जान से मारने की धमकी के खिलाफ आवाज को आल इण्डिया फेडरेशन के सहयोग से केन्द्रीय वित्त-मंत्रालय के उच्चाधिकारियों तक उठाया था।
मामले मे मीडिया के प्रभावी सहयोग के लिए हमारी एसोसियशन मेम्बर्स आभारी है और रहेंगे ।
      आदर सहित,
आपका स्नेही,
हस्ते/-

Chori aur Sina-Jori by Duty Evaders

Dear Comrades,
Please go through the following news published in various daily newspapers and Breaking News on E-TV. The matter has been discussed in detail with most of the colleagues participated in the departmental raid/search against duty evading manufacturing units. They have also admitted facts of abusing, threatening, mis-behaviour & try to mis-handle by owner of the accused unit and gathering including office bearers of manufacturers association. As per the information received till now the news published by Punjab Kesari is a bitter truth.
 
The Dy Commissioner was supervising the teams and the Additional Commissioner (AE) also reached on the spot. Please imagine seriousness of incident & and direness of duty evaders ! The teams not only completed seizure work in Police security but also reached Hqrs office under escort of Police force. The incident report has stated been given to the Chief Commissioner for appropriate action against duty evader and co-accused. Apart from offence case for duty evasion, it is a fit case for lodging FIR for punishing the accused persons, otherwise both the executive cadres i.e. Inspector & Superintendent will be demoralised.
 
Friends – Please be united for self-respect as it can also be repeated with any colleague/team in future. It is time to wait and watch action of the senior officers to maintain image & respect of our esteemed department as well as subordinate executive cadres.
 
Please send your valuable views/suggestions to decide our lines of action, if strict action is not taken by senior officers.
Yours comradely,

 BL Meena

Convention of Federation – Responsibilities shift on shoulder of the next generation

 
'inaugural session'
 
 
 
 
 
 
'Shri O Rajgopal, former Union Minister of  Railway & BJP leader, addressing the gathering' 
Former office bearers of Federation
New Team of the Federation
'Padamnabham Mandir' -Trivandrum
'Kovalam Beach" - Trivandrum
'Bharat Mata Mandir - Kanyakumari'
Dear Comrades,

The 18th convention of our Federation held at Trivandrum (Kerala) on 27-28th June, 2014. The former Union Minister of Railway and BJP leader Shri O. Rajagopal was the chief guest of inaugural session of the convention. During blessing speech he assured the cadre for best cooperation especially on issues of disparity in promotion & working condition.

The former office bearers’ alongwith ex-office bearers of the Federation comrades Chintamani, R. Manimohan, Jakaria, Kaushik Roy, A Satish, Ajit KG were also participated in the convention and shared their experiences for betterment of the cadre. I alongwith Abhay Singh, General Secretary & Manoj Verma, Asstt Gen Secretary attended the convention.

During convention it was felt that average age of officers populating the cadre too would soon go down by a good ten or twelve years therefore, it was realised that there should be a generational shift in the profile of the Federation. Thus, Comrades Anupam Neeraj of Kolkata and Abhishek Kamal of Patna were unanimously elected as the new President and Secretary General of our Federation.

The issues that confront the generation next of the cadre too are somewhat different - All India Seniority, Implementation of CR with natural justice, Inter Zonal Transfers, New Pension Scheme  and the like, and we hope those can be best addressed by a younger set of office bearers.
Hope for a good start by the new team of AICEIA.
Yours comradely
