Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games Behind Schedule
New Delhi: Zee News reports the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) is worried that several new venues for the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games are falling behind schedule.
CGF President Michael Fennel said, "we are concerned that some of the construction deadlines will not be met. But there is still time and if the new deadlines are met, that's fine".
Because of construction delays there have been cancellations of several international events that also serve as trial runs for venues being used at the October 2010 Games.
The Commonwealth shooting and boxing championships were postponed, and the world badminton championships were moved to the southern Indian city of Hyderabad.
Suresh Kalmadi, head of the organizing committee, said that all venues, except the velodrome and rugby sevens arena, would be completed by December.
"Many deadlines have been met and efforts are in hand to further enhance the efficiency in meeting laid down deadlines", he said in a statement.
