| Deserved rap on knuckles | 15-OCT-09 |
|
| The many organisers of the 2010 Commonwealth Games have received a well deserved rap on the knuckles for the state of India's (lack of) preparedness to host the Games a year from now. While the Commonwealth Games Federation has shied away from selecting an alternative venue, it has not left anyone in doubt that New Delhi has to work extra hard in the next 11 months to deliver what it has promised. All the media spin that the organisers had done, to suggest that the work done so far has been appreciated, has been exposed as hogwash. To make its displeasure clear, the Federation has said that an external oversight committee will henceforth supervise the remaining work to be done. |
