New Delhi, Aug 25 (ANI): Over a thousand armed forces personnel from specialised units are likely to be deployed for the 2010 Commonwealth Games, which kicks off on October 3.
"Army personnel are scheduled to be deployed by September 15, a little more than a fortnight ahead of the start of the sporting extravaganza on October 3," said Defence Ministry sources.
"The personnel deployed would provide technical assistance related to intra-force communication, maintenance of jammers, decrypting suspecting signals, besides providing other logistical support," they added.
There are reports that chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) teams of the Army will also be deployed for the mega-event.
It has been reported that a solution with regard to the free stay of army personnel has been finalised between the Urban Development and Defence Ministries, and special arrangements are being made near Palam for their stay.
The 2010 Commonwealth Games is India's biggest sporting event since the 1982 Asian Games.
India is expecting about two million tourists in New Delhi for the Games, as well as about 10,000 athletes from 71 teams representing 54 Commonwealth member states. (ANI)
