The newly-appointed director of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, Dr. M. Srinivas, issued an office memorandum on Thursday stating that if any security staff is found taking refreshments or eating food during duty hours, s/he will be removed from the rolls of AIIMS.

After seeing the security guard carrying tea in a tray, Dr. M. Srinivas issued an office memorandum.
“It is hereby directed that the security personnel deployed for patient security and assistance will not be used for any purpose other than that for which they have been hired. If any security staff is found carrying refreshments, tea, coffee, etc. during their duty hours,” read the memorandum.
As per the memorandum, “Any security staff found taking refreshments or eating food during duty hours will also be removed from the rolls of AIIMS.”
It further stated that it will also be ensured by the respective faculty in charge and officers in charge of security that the security staff perform the duties as specified in the tender agreement for watch and ward services.
“Such incidents not only jeopardize the security for which the staff has been deployed, but also cast an unfavorable light on security services,” it continued.
