New Delhi:
Even as more athletes exit the games, the focus is on getting the Games Village ready on time for those who have started arriving.
Even the Indian hockey team complained about the loos in the Games Village. There was no water in their loos on Saturday evening and plumbers had to be rushed in.
According to sources, 150 flats have been declared unliveable.
Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has been spending a considerable amount of time at the Games Village over the last two days, overseeing the massive cleanup operation that is underway. However, the Organising Committee head, Suresh Kalmadi, was kept out of a top level review meeting today at the Games village.
The Chief Minister this morning told reporters that work was still going on at the Village and it would be ready for handover to the appropriate authorities by Wednesday.
"I come here every morning, afternoon and evening just to see if everything is going fine. The Cabinet Secretary will also come in the evening and take two rounds...We hope, in today and tomorrow's time about 300-600 flats would be handed over. Absolutely by Wednesday everything will be done," Sheila said.
The sprawling Commonwealth Games Village campus is spread over an area of 63.5 hectares. It has a total of 34 residential towers, with 1,168 apartments comprising 4,008 bedrooms which will house the athletes and team officials.
