Folks,
Haute Couture is raging in the Garden City after setting fire to places like Milan, Paris, London and New York. The only difference is that you wont see anyone shashaying down the ramp. It's the Security Officers who are dressed to kill in their regal Safari Suits. Those of you who have perused the minutes of the 25th Internal Security Committee Meeting (held at Bangalore on 16 April 2005) will know what I mean. Para (xx) of the minutes, under the heading Uniform to Security Guards says "the committee emphasised the need for wearing of prescribed unifrom by all staff be it officers or class III/IV of security establishment. This should be ensured by all offices." Well this is the first time in my service that I am seeing such directions being issued for wearing of uniforms by officers coming in black and white. This is a self-inflicted injury as we have literally "asked for it". At some places officers were wearing clothes that were too casual for even a hippie to stomach. At some places our brothers were filling the ears of senior officers regarding this. The upshot is now the office has to give an "action taken report" that the said instructions are being followed. So thanks guys. We are religiously wearing our safari suits but I am surely not proud to do so (I would rather be dressed in a shirt and tie every day). But hey ! who cares if you look like drivers of Govt vehicles !! Wear your uniform and dont forget to send the Action Taken Report.
