New Delhi, Oct 8 (IANS) Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit is unhappy with the Games Organising Committee for ignoring her suggestion to issue free tickets to school and college students, an official said Friday amid reports that tickets of several events were sold to scrap dealers as waste paper.
The chief minister, according to the official, has not got a response from the Games Organising Committee on her request.
'We have not got the response so far on the suggestion for free tickets to school and college students,' the official added.
He said the report of Games tickets found with a scrap dealer has left the chief minister 'concerned' over the issue.
Meanwhile, the BJP's Delhi unit chief Vijendra Gupta asked the OC to provide free tickets to children, women and also to handicapped and poor.
'The objective of the Games is that the youth of India should get inspiration from the Games. They should learn. Most of the Games venues are empty because of gross irregularity in the distribution of tickets and passes,' Gupta added.
Media reports Friday pointed out irregularities in CWG ticket sales.
