CAG pulls Defence Ministry for inducting tanks without ACs | The Indian Express

CAG rejected the ministry's reply that its decision of not importing the tanks fitted with ACs was based on trials in which detrimental effects of prolonged exposure to heat and dust were not noticed and they came to light only after they were inducted.
"The ministry's reply is not factually correct. The trial team had already highlighted the instances of overheating of components noticed during field trials and recommended addition of ACs," the report said.
