Statement

Only carry out jobs specified in tender agreement

The order said that such incidents not only compromised the security, which was the very purpose of deploying the personnel, but was also bad optics for the security services of the institution. Therefore the services of the security staff should not be used for anything other than their job prescribed as per the tender agreement, which is keeping watch and ward services.
