No need to have any worry on Games security : Chidambaram
New Delhi, Oct 24 (PTI) "No player, no participant, no
coach, no trainer, no visitor, no spectator" to the New Delhi
Commonwealth Games in October 2010 need to have any worry on
account of security.
This firm assurance was given by India's Home Minister P
Chidambaram, who said a very comprehensive security plan has
been drawn up for the October 3-14 sporting extravaganza.
"We will provide fool-proof security," Chidambaram said
in an interview to PTI.
Asked specifically whether he had any concerns about the
safety of the sportsmen during the Games, Chidambaram said
"Every international sports event in the world must factor in
security. Be it World Cup football, Olympics or Commonwealth
Games. So, we have factored in security.
"We have a very comprehensive security plan. The Plan has
been presented to the CWG Federation. The security personnel
of the participating countries came to Delhi a few weeks ago
and they were given a full presentation. I am told that they
have expressed satisfaction with the security plan that we
presented for the CWG," he said.
Asked whether he would like to assure the participating
nations that India does not face a greater threat than any
other country, the home minister said there were many other
countries that faced a greater threat. More PTI MRM
