Ready for probe into CWG, says Kalmadi

The Commonwealth Games Organising Committee Chairman Suresh Kalmadi today said he was ready to provide all kind of support to the prime minister-appointed high-level committee formed to look into allegations of corruption related to the conduct of mega sporting event.

Kalmadi, already under fire from various quarters over delays and charges of corruption ranging from favouritism in award of contracts to expensive hiring of training equipment, welcomed the government’s initiative to launch a probe into the matter and hoped that the report covers all aspects.

“The honourable prime minister has appointed a committee to probe into all matters relating to the Commonwealth Games. We welcome the initiative and hope that it will be comprehensive, covering all aspects. The Organising Committee will be happy to provide all support to the panel,” Kalmadi said in an OC release.
