Daya Shankar bids good-bye to Mother Earth but his legend lives on ...


Tribute to Late Daya Shankar

DAYA SHANKAR
21.05.1952 TO 11.08.2012

THE OFFICER NEED NO INTRODUCTION, A LEGENDARY CUSTOMS OFFICER WHO WAS A TERROR TO SMUGGLERS, TAX EVADERS AND SCAMSTERS. HIS NETWORK WAS SO WIDE AND ACCURATE THAT EVEN MUMBAI POLICE SOUGHT HIS ASSISTANCE IN COLLECTION OF INTELLIGENCE. HE WAS PRO-REVENUE, PRO-STAFF, HONEST TO THE CORE, AND NEMESIS NOT ONLY TO THE SMUGGLERS BUT ALSO TO THE CORRUPT OFFICERS.

HE SERVED AS A.C. (AIRPORT), M & P WING, D.C., CENTRAL EXCISE, MUMBAI – III, ADDITIONAL COMMISSIONER (VIGILANCE). HIS EACH WORKING DAY WAS A HISTORY AND TALK OF THE CIRCLE AS HE UNEARTHED MANY CASES IN CUSTOMS AND CENTRAL EXCISE. HE WAS DARING AND HIS PRESENCE WAS A FORCE TO RECKON. AFTER PROLONGED ILLNESS HE PASSED AWAY IN AUSTRALIA ON 11.08.2012.

CESA EXPRESSES IT’S HEARTFELT CONDOLENCES.

“IN ALL THE WORLD WE SHALL NOT FIND
A HEART SO LOVING, AND SO KIND
A SOUL SO HUMBLE WITH A WARM SMILE.
AN INSPIRATION, YOU MADE YOUR LIFE WORTHWHILE,
FOR EVERYONE, IN EVERYTHING YOU DID YOUR BEST,
MAY GOD GRANT YOU ETERNAL REST”

C E S A, MUMBAI.

Re :Tribute to Late Daya Shankar

One similar officer who worked in the Dept was the late M.G.Vaidya, who was not only a daring officer but a staff friendly administrator. Once he got the support of Indian Navy to encircle and toe a ship full of smuggled goods attempting to land with high political support.Sri Vaidya contacted Rashtrapathi Bhavan, spoke to the President's ADC and in an hour thechief of southern Naval Command was at the Customs House.
We must publish the deeds of such brave and dedicated officers whose number is dwindling.
