(d)The Superintendent of Excise should ordinarily spend 100 days on tour each year. He will draw up a fortnightly tour programme and submit it to the Deputy Commissioner, at least 3 days before the commencement of tour. His diaries (which should contain information as to the work done daily both at headquarters and on tour) will be submitted in duplicate to the Deputy Commissioner at the end of each month, portion of importance relating to sub-divisions being sent to the Sub-divisional Officers, for transmission through proper channel, after necessary action, to the Commissioner of Excise, who will after perusal, retain one copy in his office and return the other to the Deputy Commissioner when the same will be filed in the Sadar Excise office. Diaries containing confidential information will be submitted to the Deputy Commissioner by name in sealed covers and similarly transmitted by him to the Commissioner of Excise. In the course of his tours special attentions should be directed to the inspection and preventive work of the subordinate staff, to the investigation of offences under the Excise and Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances laws and to the sites, management of licensed premises and the observance of the conditions of licence, more especially in the case of county spirit shops in the tea garden and other industrial areas. Fluctuation in consumption should be enquired into and the causes thereof ascertained. The above matters and anything other of interest should be briefly noted in the monthly diaries.
