smuggling out of canteen items to outside petty traders
It is shocking to say that, one of the general trader in and around in the vicinity of CSD canteen run by Ordnance Factory Trichy found selling the CSD items in the MRP. Further on the reliable information, it is ascertained that, the firm is getting all the CSD general items from the above said canteen with the connivance of some staff of the OFT for years past and till continuing.

Unit run CSK Canteen, Trichy
Respected Sir,
Kindly read this mail with patience and caution. Now I am going to reveal some secret problems to be dealt with. The problems are related to corruptions done in CSK Canteen, Trichy division.
From our canteen many liqour bottles have been corrupted with the influence of the manager. A dealer buys 10 bottles for 400 Rs. Even inside the canteen kitchen they are selling in pegs. They are minting money through this illegal business. All the bottles are going out with the knowledge and prior permission of the manager. The main culprit is A.JOHN LOUIS. He is the security in Tanjore canteen. Now at present he is in Trichy canteen. He is the right and left hand of the manager. The customers who apply for smart card will use paper cards until the smart card is given to them. With help of those numbers from the paper card the customers buy goods.After the purchase is over the paper card will be locked.Per day not even 10 paper cards will be circulated but they prepare 20 to 30 paper cards and buy lots of liquors and sell it outside illegaly. This is done with the help of the manager. The person who possess a little computer knowledge can find all these corruptions easily.
For Eg.On 11/03/2010 only three paper cards have been entered.
PAPER CARD NO. ARMY NO. NAME

GRO1658 60838 Late.Jaganathan 7142 148258862 Chauhan Ajmal
But there are more number of cards been entered, they are
PAPER CARD NO. ARMY NO. NAME

14264168A 06875 Sivakumar
1706141 2285 Shanmuga vadivu

219400 219400 Nithyanandham

This smart card maintanence is done by Mr.Kaalamegam. A 67 age old man who is working since 2003 but the shocking news is that he is not a canteen staff. He is the binami of manager Mr.Balraj.
Manager G.Balraj and Kaalamegam will not give smart card to the customers at once. They will use the customer's smart card for 2 to 3 months and buy the goods and sell them outside. There are some brokers who get commission of about Rs.100 per Rs.1000. Per day they sell goods worth Rs.50,000 and gain a commission of Rs.5,000. Their average commission per month will exceed more than Rs.1,00,000. They have 2 to 3 contractors for moving the goods. Everything is done with the knowledge of watchman LOUIS. He collects Rs.500 per negotiation. From the year 2004-2005 each customer was given separate card for liquor and goods.But the watchman will only give goods card and keep the liquor card with himself.When the customer claims for the liquor card they give a new one. If you raid the manager's house you can get 100's of liquor cards. They have minted more amount of money with the help of these liqour cards.The culprits are Radhakrishnan Asst Salesmen in Tanjore, Rajendran from Vasantha Bhavan Hotel and Kamal. They are all the Binami's of the manager Balraj.
At the same time the smart cards of the expired persons is used by them for 2 to 3 months and then only they hole the cards. Through a single dealer the manager gets more than Rs.1,00,000 money. Under his undertaking there are 5 canteens. So he gains more money which he buries in the underground of his house.He has spies in every departments.Nobody can complaint against him. If done he will easily find it out.For each postman he would give 2 liquor bottles per week. This is because nobody should write to the higher authorities against him and if it is done they will give all the letters to the manager Balraj himself. He will give 4 bottles for the dispatch clerks in the station headquarters and ask them to neglect all the complaints before rooted to higher officials. He is acting like a good person after committing so many crimes.

I had purchased 15 liter Saffola Gold from Mathura Cantt Army Canteen @ Rs 1766/- whereas same item is available in open market for Rs 1710/-. It is shocking that "How can a item could be more cheaper in market than CSD Canteen?"
MRP difference: Item cheaper in open market
