The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, which will be the showpiece venue for the 2010 Commonwealth Games, was inaugurated on Tuesday. But the look and facilities have evoked mixed emotions so far.
Most of the Commonwealth Games venues missed several deadlines. They've now been formally handed over to the Organising Committee, and NDTV checked out how ready they are.
Rain in Delhi has led to the problem of serious waterlogging and the city has become a breeding ground for mosquitoes, especially right next to the Commonwealth Games village. Dengue cases are rising in the city.
The Yamuna Sports Complex, spread over a massive 4.8 hectares, will host two competitions during the games. Table tennis and archery. Here's a reality check a few days ago.
As the deadline for clearing debris in Delhi elapsed last month, NDTV went stadia hopping to check out whether these had been cleared of the mess around.
And as we debate whether Delhi's stadia are ready for the Commonwealth Games now three weeks away, London celebrated the two-year countdown to the next Olympics by opening some of its Games venues.
