KATHMANDU:  Nepal Army (NA)’s decision to procure an ammunition plant has courted controversy, reported Annapurna daily. NA has decided to spend about 4 billion rupees to procure the plant in cahoots with some companies, while the actual cost of the plant is only 1.5 billion rupees.

According a source at the Ministry of Defense, the decision to procure the ammunition plant had been taken during the tenure of then Chief of Army Staff Rajendra Chhetri.  Sher Bahadur Deuba was the prime minister during the period.

The procurement process has been hit following the reports that the NA is procuring the plant for higher prices than its actual value, says the report.
