Gill dispels delay fears, says Delhi will be ready in time

New Delhi, Dec 20 (PTI) Indian Sports Minister MS Gill
Sunday conceded that the organisers of the 2010 Commonwealth
Games are doing a catching-up job but assured that stadia and
other infrastructure would be ready well before the October
3-14 Games.

A day after Commonwealth Games Federation president
Miachael Fennell said he was "distressed" as some of the
venues would not be ready before June next year, Gill said the
organisers were trying their best to catch up.
"Whatever time has been lost since 2003, we are trying to
make up," Gill told reporters Sunday.
"Fennell has said it again and again that a lot of
progress has been made of late and we are doing the catching
up job," the minister said.
Patting the engineers and the workers for working on a
war footing, Gill said, "The engineers are working hard, give
them some credit. The workers from Bihar, Orissa, Bengal are
also working hard and it's these people who are putting up the
game and not me.
"God willing, I'm sure we will get there in good time,"
added Gill, who attended a Group of Ministers' meeting Sunday.
