Shifting of Valsad Customs Division

To

Hon’ble Principal Commissioner,

Customs Ahmedabad.

 

Respected Sir,

 

            Subject : Request for shifting of Customs Division, Valsad to new location preferably                                   by getting constructed a new building in our own vacant plot in Valsad – reg.

 

            At the outset, we sincerely thank your goodself for your proactive approach towards shifting of Customs Division, Surat from old and rented premises of Urmi Complex, Sangrampura to newly constructed Custom House, Surat.

 

2.         Now, we wish to draw your kind attention towards the pathetic situation of Customs Division Valsad situated in Om Plaza, Dharampur Road, Abrama from where Tapi and Valsad Divisions are working at at 2^nd and 3^rd Floor. CGST & C. Ex. office of Valsad is also situated in the same building at 2^nd Floor. This office is located in a shopping complex and it is too old, too unhygienic and unsafe to work from. The office location also gives a very poor picture of the department and bad impression about our work culture among the assesses, clients and visitors. Rent charged by the owner of this building is too much as compared to present day market price of similar space in the current real-estate scenario.

 

3.         Our department is already having its own plot in Valsad, which is vacant and unutilised as it is not well connected with the approach road. Your honour is respectfully and sincerely requested to make a dedicated task force of officers to take up the matter with local authorities and persons of the locality to procure land near approach road so that our own building may got constructed in Valsad. This will prove to be landmark act on your part and our officers and staff will ever remain obliged for such great act. Till such procurement of land and construction of own Building, the office may got shifted to a new location in an independent and new building.

 

4.         We have written separately to the Hon’ble Chief Commissioner, CGST and Central Excise to get CGST Office, Valsad shifted to a new premises similarly.

 

                                                Thanking you. With regards.

 

   Yours faithfully,

 

 

 

      (M. S. PRABHAT)

                                                                                                                        General Secretary
