Athletes Village open for Commonwealth Games 2010 in New Delhi

After a lot of predicaments and verdicts about being a failure, the Athletes Village is ready for the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi which is currently thick with Dengue affected victims.

The Games village is all ready to house more than 2000 people and serve upto 25000 meals a day the experience of which has been sampled by the media. And not only this, it also has 1168 flats, an athletics track, a gym and two swimming pools. CWG Federation CEO Mike Hooper recently compared the Athletes villages to be as good as Olympics villages and is definitely the best CWG village he has ever seen till date.

However, the success of the CWG might still be a question to ponder upon up untill its started. The costs are still bringing major creases on the everyone’s brow as the Organising committee is not ready to reveal to the RTI the details of items like cutlery and flower pots which costed the taxpayer a whooping 630 crores !

With Delhi clouds still showing more signs of rain and so much to still deal with, it might lead to calling for more money so that CWG is ready and all set.
