An urgent need to shifts offices out of Delhi
There is an urgent need to shift a number of central Government offices like CGDA ,Coast Guard ,NDMA etc which has all India jurisdiction and functions, out of Delhi .Attempts were made earlier but due to vested interests this was scuttled .By shifting such offices out of Delhi to Tier 11 cities not only Delhi will be decongested but other cities will also develop. Modi's Government should consider this seriously.

Customs revenue function cannot be executed by MHA
It is apparent he does not know much about Indirect Tax Administration in the country. The indirect tax revenue may be less than Direct Taxes, still is substantial and is required. AS for GST, by any standards is required to be administered both by Centre and States. Customs revenue function cannot be executed by MHA and as such cannot be discharged by them. Regarding value addition by officers, what yardsticks he has used? Such comments can be made against any service as lies have no restraint in our public discourse.
