CWG to miss another deadline
Admitting delay in meeting the deadline for preparation for the Commonwealth Games in Delhi, government today blamed the rains for it.
“The schedule is not met strictly. It is being delayed by a few days because of rain also and because of delay in delivery of containers,” Union Urban Development Minister Jaipal Reddy told reporters here after a Group of Ministers’ meeting on the Games.
After extending the time-frame many times in the past, the Delhi government has now fixed August 31 as the latest deadline for completing Games projects.
However, Reddy, who heads the GoM, said “it was delayed by a couple of days and not more than that.”
