NEW DELHI: A day after a labourer was killed in an accident at the Commonwealth Games Village site, CM-designate Sheila Diskhit visited three Games-related projects on Monday to review the progress of construction work. She reiterated her commitment to facilitate the success of the event in 2010 which would enhance Delhi's image, an official release said.
The CM, with a fleet of officials from her office, MCD, PWD, CPWD and Sports Authority of India (SAI), visited the Thyagraj Sports Complex, Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium and Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium, besides reviewing the status of Salim Garh fort bypass project, which is yet to get a go ahead from Delhi Urban Art Commission (DUAC).
The CM had sought the mandate to carry out development works for the Games during her election campaign.
Dikshit reportedly instructed officials to ensure uniform signages and fool-proof security measures at all the venues. According to CMO, the construction is in full swing and is one month ahead of the schedule. Dikshit asked the MCD to give a facelift to neighbouring localities, the release said.
She was told by officials at JLN Stadium, where upgradation, renovation and new construction are in progress, that the venue would be used for the opening and closing events and three competitions. This is going to be disabled-friendly and environment-friendly. Officials also claimed that the renovated gymnastics stadium, with a capacity to accommodate 16,000 persons, and the new wrestling stadium, with a capacity of 7,500 persons, would be completed in December, 2009. New Velodrome Stadium, having a capacity of 4,000 persons, would be ready by March 2010.
PWD officials also presented the case of DUAC delaying the go ahead for Salim Garh Fort bypass project on the Ring Road. "Since this is also a crucial project and related to the Games, she has told us to take up the issue with the DUAC. We are hopeful of an NOC from the agency soon. A team of DUAC officials would visit the site in the next few days. The authority has certain reservations regarding the number of trees to be axed,'' said a senior PWD official.
