An 'invisible' Customs officer turns into a real (ty) 'boom buster'!

THERE is a real boom in the realty sector. So was the case among the officers of Customs and Excise till other day! With official accommodation being scarce, some of these officers of all ranks found it wiser to get their uncared allotments of flats in Delhi and Noida repaired to an extent. Then came a hurricane news that one of the senior Customs officers has put on duty a private agency to capture in camera the repair work or renovation or interior decoration being carried out in the flats / houses of the departmental officers. Stop Press ! was the reaction in chorus from the officers! Contractors were asked to reassemble only after the 'invisible' ghost visibly retires late next year! What a dampener for PC's bouyant economy! Will PC resort to exorcism? Earlier he does would be better!
