New Delhi: In the face of growing pressure and criticism on the issue of completion of stadiums and other infrastructure in time for the Commonwealth Games, scheduled to begin from the 3rd of October, Organising Committee chief, Suresh Kalmadi continues to be extremely confident about the preparations.

In a conversation with NDTV, Kalmadi claimed that the Games village "is the best in the world and is even better than the one in the 2008 Beijing Olympics".

"All the stadiums are one of the finest in the world and athletes will really enjoy themselves here", he added.

The deadline for the handover of the stadiums is scheduled for August 1 and with many facilities yet to be made fully functional and a lot of work still left, saving the country from getting embarrassed in front of the world looks to be a tall order for Suresh Kalmadi and company.

NEW DELHI - A PORTION of false ceiling in the Commonwealth Games weightlifting venue in India's capital caved in on Wednesday, a day after 27 workers were injured when a footbridge collapsed near the same sports complex.

'It is minor. It is only a false ceiling coming down, or parts of it. It will be corrected now,' Cabinet Secretary KM Chandrasekhar, who oversees Games preparations, told CNN-IBN television.

'It is not something to be worried about ... it is not a major kind of collapse'.

Local TV stations reported that no one was injured. One local journalist near the scene said the roof collapsed on the area where jurors would seat near the weightlifting stage. -- REUTERS
