In: Files feared stolen from GST Intel records room

Posted on April 23, 2019 by Dissent

Wow. As far as a physical security FAIL goes,  this is a contender.

The Ahmedabad Mirror reports:

Officials of the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) in Gujarat on Sunday lodged a complaint of theft of record files from their storage unit in Ahmedabad.

The DGGI storage unit is housed in an old and decrepit government quarters building in Pragatinagar area of the city. It neither has any security measures to prevent incursions nor CCTV to monitor activities there.

Read more on Ahmedabad Mirror. You seriously need to take a look at that storage unit pictured in the story.
