Comptroller and Auditor General, CAG today said that the performance of Indo-Tibetan Border Police, ITBP has been adversely affected as ordnance factories did not supply necessary arms and ammunition to the force after taking advance payments. <br/><br/>In its report tabled today in Parliament, it said, scrutiny of records between 2009 and 2013 shows that the payment of over 15 crore rupees was made as advances to different ordnance factories for supply of emergent requirement of arms and ammunitions. <br/><br/>The CAG said the supplies should have been made within nine months of taking advance. The auditing body has recommended that the Home Ministry should look into the issue of advance payment to the ordnance factories and take effective steps to remove the inefficiencies in the system, by making the factories more accountable and ensuring timely supply of urgently needed arms and ammunitions to ITBP. The ITBP guards the sensitive Sino-India border.
