The Indian side informed the delegates that besides
keeping Delhi safe in the run up to the games, the entire
country will also be kept secure from any act of terror or
major law and order incident.
Directors General of Police of different states have also
been sensitised to ensure a safe and secure environment.
The delegates were assured that as far as security is
concerned, there would be no dearth of resources and manpower.
Latest technology and best people will be put for the event.
Sources said officials of the Home Ministry and Delhi
Police answered all queries of the international security
experts and they appeared to be pleased with the replies.
The delegates will be taken on a conducted tour to some of
the games venues Thursday so that they can have first hand
experience on the preparations.
The Home Ministry officials asked security experts to give
their inputs, if any, so that it could be incorporated, if
necessary, in the final security plan which is likely to be
three-tier.
Over 2,000 close-circuit television cameras will keep a
watchful eye on the happenings in the city and keep sending
live images to a state-of-the-art police control room, being
set up at the police headquarters here.
Government will ensure that no country will be pulled out
of the games citing security threat as the reason.
Heads of Missions of 52 Commonwealth countries were given
