New Delhi: A parliamentary committee has flagged the delay in production of electronically upgraded Dhanush gun system and said it is concerned to note the defence ministry's admission that this has "affected the operational preparedness" of the Army, specially the Artillery Division.
In its report presented in Parliament on Thursday, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), headed by Congress leader K C Venugopal, also observed that in the "present geopolitical scenario, the ministry must be proactive to assess the stockpiles and efficacy of such critical guns to ensure that the armed forces are not deprived of credible equipment and technology".
