New Delhi: The Delhi Government on Monday appeared to blame the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) for the mess surrounding the Commonwealth Games Village and the capital's developer also came under scathing attack at a meeting convened by the Cabinet Secretary on Sunday night.
"We inherited it (the Village) in a very difficult situation. It is improving by almost the hour. We are working very hard (to make things right)," Dikshit who has been personally monitoring the 'clean up operation' at the Village said.
"I do hope that at the end of it everything will be alright....of course there are some seepages which the builder and the DDA should have looked at earlier," Dikshit said.
"I won't give you a timeline.... It depends on how dry the buildings become. How quickly the water is removed from the basements and how quickly the lifts are working," she said.
Amid strong criticism by international delegates who dubbed the Village as "filthy and uninhabitable", the PMO last week had directed Delhi Government to take control of the complex from Delhi Development Authority and clear the mess.
Officials said the developer of the complex Emmar-MGF has extended little cooperation to the authorities in improving condition at the Village.
