Shri FAHIM AHAMED

Commissioner Central Excise Belapur,

CGO Complex, CBD Belapur,

Navi Mumbai.

Respected Sir,

                        Sub: - Immediate restoration of Canteen facility – regarding.

            The members and staff posed in CGO Complex, CBD Belapur has brought to the notice of this Association that the canteen facility were available in the office has been discontinued since long and no alternate arrangement is made. It is learnt that the canteen was stopped due to some technical reasons. This causing inconvenience to all the staff of Central Excise Belapur Commissionerate, Service Tax and of Raigad Commissionerate also who are sitting in that building.

2.         It is not understood as to why the Administration has not made any arrangement till now and if there was any technical problem with the canteen contractor, when it runs the canteen for so many years this could have been continued for some more period till the alternate arrangement is made. But unfortunately the Authorities had abruptly stopped it and thereafter no expediency shown to restore this facility which is considered as one of the staff welfare measure by the ministry.

3.         Probably, the reasons for the laxity in restoring the facility which staff in general and Association can understand is that problem is only to lower staff who cannot afford the food and other things outside like others at higher level nor they have any arrangement to make tea at their table or anyone can serve it readymade to them at their beck-n-call.

4.         Sir, as near to the office there is no affordable eatable stalls or tea vendor etc. Officers has to go far off for the same and during lunch hours there is rush in those restaurants during lunch hours. Thus they have to wait and waste time also and work will also suffer if staff leaves office for these basic needs. Therefore, this Association request that this staff welfare measure viz. canteen facility be restored immediately by following the due process of inviting tenders etc.

         

          Yours sincerely,

                                                                                                                    A.K. Sasmal

                                                               General Secretary
