New Delhi, Sep 21 (ANI): Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Tuesday expressing concern over the delay in finishing of infrastructural projects for the 2010 Commonwealth Games said the incessant rainfall in the national capital is hampering preparations for the upcoming mega event.
Dikshit reviewed various roads and bridges around the games sites today following incessant rainfall in the city for the last three days.
"We are conducting inspections. Whatever faults there are, we will complete them by the next week. The slight rains have surely caused some disruptions because of which work has become slow but despite that, work is happening and we will complete it. Hence, we are conducting surveys," said Dikshit.
She also undertook a rapid inspection of the various spots after an under-construction foot over-bridge today collapsed outside the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium, the main venue of the Commonwealth Games, injuring 23 labourers.
The 12-day sporting extravaganza, which kicks off on October 3, is India"s biggest sporting event since the 1982 Asian Games in New Delhi.
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)
