The article from MSN discusses an audit report by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India, which has highlighted significant issues at the Institute of Microbial Technology (IMTECH) in Chandigarh.

Key findings include the non-completion of a major project aimed at developing a new campus, with only 25% completion despite significant expenditure.
