The first batch of athletes arrived in India for the Commonwealth Games on Friday, opting to stay at a hotel instead of unfinished, filthy accommodation as the future of the showcase event hung in the balance.
Forty-seven members of the English men's hockey and lawn bowl teams will stay at a hotel until at least Saturday before moving to the athletes village which, along with a bridge collapse and a suspected militant attack on two foreign visitors, has thrown the Games into crisis.
Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram told CNN construction and cleaning at the venues would be completed on Friday and at the Games Village on Saturday, following which security agencies would take over the sites.
