The common Wealth Games will be taking place in Delhi in October-2010. After a very long time it happened that India is organizing this type of event in Delhi. After a long time Delhi is being renovated for the games after Asian Games. Though big matches of Crickets and other Games and events are usual in Delhi, but this type of event is really being organized after a very long time.
Government of Delhi and Central Government is preparing Delhi for Commonwealth Games 2010. Delhi is being renovated for the games coming in this October. Total of 11 Games in 6 very big ground some of one in Asia's biggest grounds, will be organized. It is in the hands of the local Delhi Government and the Indian Government to prepare the city for the games and showcase the city to the world. Considering world sports' scenario it is not a major event for the people across the globe being glued to their TV sets, but the Indian public will witness some of the greats displaying their skills in front of them.
Delhi Government also wants to push for the bid of the 2020 olympic Games in the city by successfully organizing this event later this year.
Though Delhi government is working hard to setting up a big and smooth plan but still there has been a constant delay in the projects for the Commonwealth Games. But hope is to be completed before the beginning of the games. The beautification work has just started in most places of the city. Even the Indian government acknowledged that the work in 13 sites out of a total 19 sites is behind schedule. For all this the Indian Olympics Association chief Suresh Kalmadi has faced the ire for slackened preparation.
It is true that most of the venues are lagging behind in terms of preparation, but the bigger question is what will happen to these giant stadiums after the event is over. This fact is well known that India is not a country with a proper sports culture and stadiums like these are best left to oblivion after such mega events. There is no maintenance of the grounds and nothing like a staff to take care of stadiums in general.
Other lack is looking in Common Wealth Games is public safety and Security in this huge traffic although Delhi Police is funded for the purchase and installation of new and advanced security measures. But all the end security of public is in its own hand.
