WITH JUST twelve days to go for the mega event, the Commonwealth Games village, which was being praised by the Indian media has come under serious flak for shoddy quality. The president of the Commonwealth Games Federation (CWF) Michael Fennell has in a message to the Cabinet Secretary expressed great uncertainty about the preparedness of the games village, where the sportsperson will be staying during the games.
Fennel has condemned the Games village and reports quoted him as saying that the athletes' village is seriously compromised.
Team members from several countries, who arrived in advance and some, who have sent advance parties have expressed dissatisfaction with the facilities.
In fact, New Zealand is still undecided on sending its athletes and there are chances that it can withdraw the team. The recent shootout near Jama Masjid has left many visitors in panic.
Everything at the games village is complicated as deadlines are being pushed daily.The situation outside the games village is worse as a number of projects are still far from completion and there is general panic all around.
Fennel's statement has come as a shocker because few days back, he had appreciated the venue and said that the state of affairs was satisfactory. Now it remains to be seen what the Commonwealth Games organisers can do in the few days ahead to ensure the games can go on without any hitch.
