Sub: Accidental bringing mobile phones/head phones in bag and the action follows.

Sir,

It has been observed that, employees are sometimes unknowingly bringing their mobile phones in their office bags. Such mobiles if found during checking were being spoiled and only ‘SIM card’ is being returned to them by security officers. Such incidents are likely to happen on working day followed by holidays.

Nowadays scanning machines are kept and the bags will be screened before entering into the premises. Considering the wide use of mobiles during these modern days, it is time reconsider about the practice of totally spoiling the mobiles and its contents etc.

            We suggest that if mobile is found, a computer expert may check its contents and if any secret or objectionable documents or pictures are found, the Dept. is free to take action, otherwise such mobiles may be handed over to the concerned individual with a forewarning. It is possible that the mobile may contain some personnel documents which are important to that individual.

Thanking you

Yours faithfully

A. Sreedharan

(Gen. Secretary)
