oye you copying my phrase


I will support athletes who don't attend CWG: New Zealand PM


AUCKLAND: New Zealand Prime Minister John Key on Wednesday said that he would support any athlete who decides not to participate in the Commonwealth Games and added: "they have to make their own decision on whether they feel comfortable or not with the risks involved".

Key was briefed on Tuesday night over the preparation for the Commonwealth Games to be held in Delhi October 3-14.

The Prime Minister said that it was up to the New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) to decide whether or not to send a team.

"I would love to see the Games go ahead, but if they are to go ahead, from New Zealand's perspective, the conditions have to be safe and sound for our people," stuff.co.nz quoted Key as saying.

He made it clear that he would support any individual athlete who decides not to go.

"I think in the end, they have to make their own decision on whether they feel comfortable or not with the risks involved," he said, adding "we're trying to give our people the best assessment that we can".

He said: "Obviously there are lots of different pictures emerging and the British (athletes) pulling out is an interesting dynamic...I'm sure they (the NZOC) will compare notes with other countries and in due course make a decision they think is appropriate."

"We know that the New Zealanders talk to the Brits, to the Australians and to the Canadians. They've been sharing similar information so one would assume that they would often draw similar conclusions."

Sounding a word of caution, Key said: "If the Commonwealth Games did not go ahead that would have significant implications for the future of the Commonwealth Games and that's not something we'd like to see and it also wouldn't be good for India."

Some 7,000 participants and officials from 71 countries and territories are expected to attend the Oct 3-14 Commonwealth Games, India's biggest sporting event after the 1982 Asian Games it hosted in New Delhi.

.... All Kalmadis Fault, He Used the Nation for his Own benefit

Not just Kalmadi's fault. Was the government sleeping all these years? The Urban development ministry, the sports ministry,the Chief Minister of Delhi,the NDMC are all responsible for this situation.The PM too should take some of the blame since someone in the PMO should have kept a watch on the OC's activities. The country's image should not have been left at the mercy of the OC headed by Kalmadi. There were enough warning signs over a year ago. What prevented the government from looking into the matter then?

Lalit Bhanot had the gall to talk about different standards of cleanliness. The guy must be made to clean up all the toilets himself. Maybe he can offer the use of the toilets in his house to the workers because the standards don't seem to bother him. Have been cringing every time I see this criticism mentioned on TV.63 years after independence & we still have to hear that we are dirty! We are spending billions of dollars for this? Makes me sick to the stomach.

After the dog committed the crime, he was arrested and during interrogation he reveled that he was instructed to defecate right in front of Kalmadi but his trainers did not show him Kalmadi's photo.

Failing to recognize Kalmadi, he defecated on the bed and had a good night's sleep.

NEW DELHI: In another embarrassment -- day after a suspension pedestrian overbridge crashed -- false ceiling collapsed at the Weightlifting arena of the Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium, which is the main event venue of the Commonwealth Games.

Report says the false ceiling fell directly over the field of play.

Meanwhile, Commonwealth Games CEO, Mike Hooper said that he was not responsible for the day-to-day affairs of the Delhi Games.

Earlier on Tuesday, a gleaming new steel-and-concrete suspension pedestrian overbridge came crashing down on Tuesday at the main event venue Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium. The disaster left at least 27 workers injured and heightened concerns about the safety of structures being readied in a mad rush for the October 3 opening. Among the injured, five of them seriously, was a site engineer.

Authorities refused to pin blame on any agency and Delhi government's Public Works Department, which has been entrusted with several CWG projects, said it had tendered two foot overbridges, including the one destroyed, to a Chandigarh-based company P&R Infraprojects Ltd for Rs 10.34 crore. Work on both the arch-shaped foot overbridges started in March and was scheduled to end this month.

Sarvagya Srivastava, the PWD project manager at the disaster site, didn't say who was responsible for the bridge collapse. When reporters asked for an explanation, he merely said that two of the clamps holding up the causeway snapped and as the load increased progressively on the other cables, all of these snapped and the edifice came crashing down.

Public works minister Raj Kumar Chauhan told reporters the bridge, linking the stadium's parking lot to the venue, was meant exclusively for athletes and officials, underlying the lack of attention to facilities tom-tommed as world-class. But later in the day, as fears over safety grew, Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit, while visiting the injured at AIIMS, tried to play it down insensitively by saying the overbridge was meant for ordinary spectators.

Eyewitness said the bridge came crashing down with a thunderous thud at 3.05pm as workers were giving it finishing touches and laying concrete layers on the walkway. "Suddenly, one portion of the FOB on the stadium side collapsed. We saw labourers jumping from the bridge. The entire bridge came down in less than a minute," said Mohammad Ayub, a worker. He said no medical help was immediately available and the injured had to be rushed to hospital in private cars.

PWD officials, present at the site when the structure came down, said first two pairs of clamps of structures called the Macalloy bar suspenders, imported from Britain, broke and there was a progressive failure of the remaining 11 pairs resulting in the collapse. "The arch is still intact. A proper investigation would reveal what went wrong in this project," said a senior Delhi government official.

You must kick out and you dont have an excuse, its because they severely damaged the reputation of the game and the name of the country. They are non other than players.

as far as CWG is concerned, its an event which has seen some intial teething issues and most of them are valid. If the offcials will flame up now and start a blame game then the real focus will be shifted from the game itself and there could be larger reporcations, what we are trying to avoid. Not excuses.

Once the games are over they will be given due care and attention for sure and trails are waiting for them.

Hwoever we learnt a lesson that, next time any big event happens we need to give it to private sector to be manages professionaly, not by the govt.

 

[IndianArmy]

Seriously blaming ONLY One person is just like a facepalm.

He is corrupt and he did mega corruption BUT where was your entire Govt Apparatus? Weren't you monitoring or suppose to monitor the construction. only few Km road say 5Km road at the cost of crors and crors of rupees??

Well, We can Only blame the Person Who is responsible Jana, He was the One who Took it up and Increased the Budget upto more than 40% and Still Struggling with the Work

Govt or Kalmadi? And Now that the PMO is Ensuring everything On time, I am Sorry I would Only Blame it on Organizing Committee Chief
