New Delhi: Against the backdrop of the firing incident near Jama Masjid, Commonwealth Games Organising Committee chief Suresh Kalmadi on Monday met Police Commissioner Y S Dadwal and discussed security-related issues.

Kalmadi drove to the city police headquarters and held talks with the police chief as several countries expressed concern over the security situation following Sunday's incident.

The Commonwealth Games will be held in the city from October 3. After the incident, Kalmadi had said he has spoken to many Commonwealth countries and "nobody was worried".

Two unidentified motorcycle-borne attackers on Sunday shot and injured two Taiwanese nationals outside the Jama Masjid which was followed by a crude pressure cooker bomb blast in a car in the same area.

US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have issued travel advisories to its citizens warning them against a high risk of terror attack ahead of the Commonwealth Games next month.
