New Delhi: Commonwealth Games Federation President Michael Fennell met Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and Organising Committee Chief Suresh Kalmadi on Thursday morning.
It is the second day of his two-day visit to Delhi to inspect the CWG venues. He's scheduled to hold a press briefing later in the evening.
Fennell spent all of Wednesday inspecting the venues but he wasn't willing to comment on whether he's happy with the progress or is still worried whether it will all come together in time.
Meanwhile, despite all the worries over the venues being ready on time, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said she was confident that preparations are on track. She also added that and the monsoon was not a cause for worry.
"No it (monsoon) does not worry me because if there was lot of flooding in Delhi it could worry us, but fortunately, so far, God willing, this rain is very good for Delhi because it is this rain which gives us the underground water and lasts us throughout the year," she said.
"There will always be worries till Commonwealth Games are over. There is always a sense of great tension and nervousness. Till the Games are over we will not be able to rest in peace. That is there. But day by day, we are getting more confident and things will be alright," the CM added.
