Govt to decide on CWG OC fate

A resolution in this regard was passed today during its sixth annual general body meeting here.

"During our meeting today, it has been agreed upon by all members that the OC has met all its obligation mandated under the host city contracts signed by different stake holders. The body has decided that the government may take a decision on the its future," said Jarnail Singh, Chief Executive Officer of the OC.

Following today's decision, it is now likely that the Organising Committee, which is facing allegations of financial and managerial irregularities, will wind up its work soon.

He said the the accounts of the OC for 2009-10 and 2010-11 were also approved during the meeting.

"The Finance Ministry has been asked to tell the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) to examine its accounts for 2011-12," Singh said.

The OC accounts, along with the two years annual reports, will now be presented before Parliament which can then make them public.

To a question whether the OC will be wound up forever, another senior official associated with the Games organising body said, "There are many legal cases worth crores are going on. In addition, probe agencies like the CBI and CVC are looking into some of the irregularities in CWG-related projects. There is a need of staff to look after all this thing". (MORE)
