‘Army’s ammo won’t last 10 days if there’s war: CAG’ (http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/nation/army-s-ammo-won-t-last-10-days-if-there-s-war-cag/78596.html.

If true, then this is of course a very worrying matter. As per our structure, this needs to be looked into by the Chief of Army Staff, the Defence Ministry, the Defence Minister, Cabinet Sub-Commiittee on Defence, if there is one, Parliamentary Consultative Commiittee of Defence Ministry, the Union Cabinet, the Parliament and by the Supreme Commander of the Defence Forces- the President of India.

By trying to take on a role which is far removed from accounting and auditing, the Comptrolleer and Auditor General is only embarrassing all.
