Respected Kaushik Ji,
First of all i would like to congratulate you for initiating the time frame agitation programme to cater the most overlooked, neglected, ignored and underprivileged cadre of the Central Government System. I wish, by this agitation we will be able to fetch the attention of bureaucrates and politicians sitting in the north block. However if our agitation programme fails to awake them, i have another idea to shake the whole north block. The All India Central Excise Inspectors Association should issue a circular to all the inspectors that all of them will ask different questions from CBEC under RTI Act 2005, preferably for this a question week should be fixed. This incessant and intermittent rain of questions will force them to give attention to the most legitimate and rightfull demands. All of our inspectors are legally very strong and the Association shall exploit this potential of the cadre. I hope this move will swirl the north block and they will give ear to our genuine demands. The whole cadre is with you in this genuine and most awaited movement. All the best.
