With the New Delhi Commonwealth Games to begin in October, New Delhi’s Sports Minister M.S. Gill told the upper house of parliament, “all venues will be ready by the end of this month. Most of the venues have already hosted test events without glitches. I have had a look at the stadiums, they are ready. Just the finishing work remains to be done”.
He added, “the Games are at our doorstep and we have to ensure its success”.
The New Delhi Games are being held October 3-14 and AFP reports the Indian capital has been racing against the clock to finish all its projects in time.
Many parts of the city still resemble a construct site, and monsoon rains have hampered efforts to accelerate the work, reports AFP.
There are also questions about suspect sums being transferred from the organizing committee to a British-based firm.
