                        <asp:Series Name="Tour" ChartType="Column" ChartArea="MainChartArea"  PostBackValue="#VALX">
                        </asp:Series>
                        <asp:Series Name="Inspection" ChartType="Column" ChartArea="MainChartArea" PostBackValue="#VALX">
                        </asp:Series>

  protected void AllDepartmentComparisonBarChart_Click(object sender, ImageMapEventArgs e)

Maybe you can try removing your serie-level PostBackValue and try to iterate through the DataPoints of your Series, setting the correct deptId as PostBackValue for each individual DataPoint.
