Prince Edward happy with CWG infrastructure, claims OC

New Delhi, Oct 11 (PTI) Prince Edward has given a
thumbs-up to the infrastructure coming up for the 2010
Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, the organisers claimed here
Sunday.

Prince Edward, who is the vice patron of the Commonwealth
Games Federation, had a rather hectic schedule since his
arrival here Saturday as he met India Sports Minister MS Gill
and Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit before inspecting the
venues Sunday with Organising Committee chairman Suresh
Kalmadi in tow.

Sunday he visited the Thyagaraj Stadium, Jawaharlal Nehru
Stadium, Games Village and Maj Dhyan Chand National Stadium as
well as the headquarters of the Organising Committee and was
happy with the progress, the organisers said.
"He showed satisfaction at the infrastructure being
developed in Delhi," the organising committee said in a
statement.

The Earl of Wessex is here to attend the CGF General
Assembly.

The Prince showed interest in understanding the
infrastructure development in Delhi and the level of the
preparedness of the Organising Committee.

He was particularly keen to know details about the
Queen's Baton Relay that will be launched by Queen Elizabeth
at Buckingham Palace on October 29. More PTI AY
