A proposal to install equipment that can scan cargo containers at a dozen of India's top ports has been delayed because of disagreement over who should be in charge of the process: the customs department or the ports themselves, the Mint reported.
The customs department has claimed jurisdiction over container scanners saying it is its responsibility to assess the value of the goods coming into the country.
Port authorities, however, said they are responsible for ensuring that containers coming into India's ports do not contain arms, ammunition or other banned materials.
A final decision is pending with the government.
