STAFF WRITER 19:24 HRS IST

New Delhi, Oct 7 (PTI) Amid mounting concerns about the tardy pace of preparations for next year's Commonwealth Games, CGF chief Mike Fennell today met Sports Minister M S Gill to discuss the progress of work.

Fennell, who arrived in the Capital last night to attend a Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) General Assembly meet on October 12, is understood to have discussed the "areas of concern" with the minister.

The minister briefed Fennell on various projects related to the October 3 to 14 mega-event.

The meeting comes barely a day after Gill's meeting with the Prime Minister in which Manmohan Singh took stock of the ongoing projects in an hour-long meet also attended by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and Planning Commission Deputy Chairperson Montek Singh Ahluwalia among others.
