35 days
to CWG, PM visits Jawaharlal Nehru stadium

New Delhi:
With 35 days to go for the Commonwealth Games, Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh Sunday visited the remodelled and reconstructed
Jawaharlal Nehru stadium here to see the preparedness of the venue
that will host the opening and closing ceremonies of the Oct 3-14
mega sporting event.
Singh reached the refurbished stadium around noon to take stock of
the venue. He was accompanied by officials of the Commonwealth Games
Organising Committee.
The prime minister intervened in the preparations following delays
and corruption allegations in the biggest sporting event being
organised in India since the 1982 Asiad.
During his meeting two weeks back, he issued clear instructions that
the facilities for the Commonwealth Games should be made ready in
time and meet international standards as the "eyes of the world"
were on the country.
After the meeting, an empowered committee, headed by the cabinet
secretary, has been overseeing Games preparedness, along with a
group of ministers headed by Jaipal Reddy.
Thereafter, 10 senior officials of joint secretary and additional
secretary rank were deputed to oversee operations at specific
venues. The officials were given the authority to take decisions on
the spot.
The stadium has been refurbished at a cost of a whopping Rs.9.6
billion (approximately $200 million) with international consultants
from six countries - Germany, Switzerland, Britain, US, Mexico and
Australia - putting their heads together to construct the
state-of-art facility.
The deadline for completion of the venue has been changed several
times since the Central Public Works Department began the
construction work two years and eight months back.
