Overview

Despite highlighting cases of poor management of Defence estates in the various Audit Reports repeatedly and issue of specific directions by the PAC for strict compliance with the concerned Rules and Regulation, there had been no significant improvement in the management of Defence land. As a result, the irregularities relating to misuse of Defence land, inordinate delay in renewal/termination of leases involving huge accumulation of arrears of rentals, unauthorised occupation of Defence land by other departments etc. continued to persist.

Despite specific provisions in the Cantonment Act 2006, the Cantonment Boards Agra, Ambala, Nasirabad and Delhi failed to recover service charges of RS 10.74 crore from the Railways for the period 2007-08 to 2012-13.

Ignoring the recommendations of the trial team, the Ministry of Defence procured Tanks 'X' valuing RS 9083.36 crore in 2001 and 2007 without Air Conditioners rendering the fleet of Tank 'X' vulnerable to degradation of sensitive components. Although the action for procurement of Air-Conditioners was initiated in 2002, the same was yet to materialise.
