Sir — The Government emphasises that officials should refrain from accepting gifts from outside people, vendors and firms. The CISF personnel deployed at Government offices also have instructions not to allow such outside persons to enter the office premises. However, the practice of distributing gifts by these people is still prevalent.
The question is: How do these persons enter the premises despite the presence of vigilant CISF officials at the gatesIJ Isn’t this a security lapseIJ Is the strictness of the CISF officials only meant for employeesIJ I hope our Prime Minister is aware of the situation and its seriousness.
