No deadlines

Union Minister for Youth affairs and Sports Prakashbapu Patil said there was no rule of deadlines in the completion of stadium facilities for conducting the upcoming CWG. Despite of allegations that construction work of the stadiums has not been completed in time, he said PM Manmohan Singh was satisfied that everything is ready for the events. Patil said the delays are only in some roads leading to the stadiums but there is no problem with infrastructures.

He said some countries would hesitate to take part in the Games because of security reasons. There would be a meeting of ministers of Commonwealth countries in October and participation would be ensured. He also asked the media not to play up mistakes but try to build up the spirit of the Games so that the nations can participate in the event with full pride.
