CESA CONDEMNS THE EFFORTS MADE TO TARNISH THE IMAGE OF THE CBEC.

           CESA condemns the news item posted in the SEN times ‘Corruption Flourishes In HotHouse Of Indian Customs And Central Excise Service’.   On 08.12.2014.  The long story appears to be written by some of the disgruntled elements, just to tarnish the image of the department.  CESA can say that this is a story similar to that of five blind men describing an elephant.  The said item appears to be written with an ulterior motive. Corruption or nexus flourishes under patronage.  But no one dares to raise their finger on the patrons. 

            There are many officers in the department whose integrity is above board and have forgone and sacrificed everything and dedicated their entire career to this department.  Nobody ever remembers the services and efforts of these officers.  Such articles definitely disturb and demoralise them and similar officers.

            SEN times is a well reputed site followed by several govt. officials.  Editor may please double check the contents of any such news item before putting it on site.

            CESA appeals to the editor of the SEN times ‘not to tarnish the image of the department for few incidents or experience witnessed by one or few individuals’.
