The country's Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has criticized the delay in safeguarding all coastal assets of the Navy. The CAG said that after the 26/11 Mumbai attack, the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) had given instructions to strengthen the security of all the coastal areas of the country in three years, but there was a delay of 13 to 61 months in raising resources for this. Hui.
The National Accountant CAG delayed setting up the necessary infrastructure to protect the coasts. There was a delay of 13 to 61 months in providing Fast Interceptor Crafts (FICs) to the 'Sagar Prahari Bal' (SPB) raised after the Mumbai attack. Even till June 2021, some naval ports did not have the necessary resources for security. While the CCS approved them in February 2009.
This report of the CAG regarding security matters was presented in the Parliament on Tuesday. It added that the CCS had given instructions for the security of all the coastal centers of the Navy three years after the formation of Sagar Prahari. The CAG report states that there was a huge delay in providing the FICs to the Maritime Patrol Vessels. Adequate deployment of officer-level personnel was also not done.
Let us tell you that after the Mumbai attack on 26 November 2008, Indian security institutions have taken several steps to strengthen the security of the country's coasts. Pakistani terrorists killed 166 people including 28 foreign nationals from 10 countries in this attack. These terrorists had reached Mumbai via Gujarat's Porbandar coast.
CAG also mentioned these flaws
The CAG has also said that in the ports where these vehicles have been deployed, their utilization has been minimal. At the same time, the Boost Gas Turbine (BGT) was kept over the quantity prescribed by the Navy. While ordering the purchase of BGT's, their stock was not taken care of, due to which an excess expenditure of Rs 213.96 crore was incurred on the purchase of new BGTs. Similarly, the Ministry of Defense's 'in-principle approval' (AIP) timeline of 260 weeks and contract completion period of 95 weeks resulted in an inordinate delay in the repair of naval helicopters. Due to this the helicopters remained standing for more than 10 years. The report also pointed out lapses in several other decisions of the ministry.
