Delhi Common Wealth Games 2010 Dial 111 for grievance redressal during Commonwealth Games

Delhi Common Wealth Games 2010 Dial 111 for grievance redressed during Commonwealth Games

 

New Delhi: Come September and you will just have to dial 111 to lodge a complaint against a tout or an auto driver who is overcharging you or for that matter to know about city hotels and tourist places.

"Keeping the Commonwealth Games in mind, Delhi government is coming out with a helpline to address complaints as well as
disseminate basic information about the city," said a senior
tourism ministry official.

Besides providing details about Games schedules, stadia, cultural events, hotels and other tourism-related information,
the helpline will also have data about various departments of
the city government and its e-governance programme.

"We have asked the concerned authorities to allot the number 111 as the helpline number," said a senior Delhi government official dealing with the project.

Information and Technology department of Delhi government is currently working out details to make the helpline operational before the Commonwealth Games.

Terming the helpline project as unique, the official said, "We have finalised the tendering process and the request for proposal (RFP) will be floated shortly for the project. The response was good during the pre-bid tendering meeting."

The helpline service will continue even after the Commonwealth Games.

"Since it has been devised to help the common man of the city find solution to many problems taking several aspects of the government's functioning into account, the helpline service will continue after the Games," the official said.

About one lakh tourists are expected to visit the city during the Games beginning October 3.

Tourism ministry had undertaken training programmes for
immigration officials, auto and taxi drivers, guest house owners and its staff for the Games.

Delhi Common Wealth Games 2010 CEO happy with Delhi Games progress

Delhi Common Wealth Games 2010 CEO happy with Delhi Games progress

 

New Delhi: The Commonwealth Games Federation, which had earlier expressed grave concerns over Delhi's preparations for the October Commonwealth Games, is now much more positive about the authorities delivering the event to the world on time.

The Games are just three months away, and, three crucial venues are still not ready, but the mood among the organizers is upbeat.

''We have given out brickbats when they have been deserved on the progress of the venues, but perhaps it's time to give out a bouquet, because we are really impressed by the amount of work that has been done in the past couple of months,'' Commonwealth Games Federation CEO Mike Hooper told The Age.

Delhi had promised most facilities for the Games would be finished by the end of last year. That deadline was extended to March 31, then June 30.

Three pivotal projects - the main Jawaharlal Nehru stadium, the aquatic complex and the athletes' village - all missed last week's target. But organisers say the buildings are ''99 per cent'' finished.

''We are not going to worry about a week or two. It would have been nice had the venues been completed earlier … but from an operational point of view will the venues be able to be used for their purpose? The answer is yes,'' Hooper said.

More than 20 new infrastructure projects across Delhi are due to be finished before the Games, including a major expansion of the city's metro rail network.

The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, the RK Khanna Tennis Stadium, the Delhi University rugby sevens stadium and the National Stadium for hockey are all open-air venues.

Several running and cycling events will be held on roads. A series of outdoor public events to coincide with Delhi's much-anticipated sporting extravaganza could also be affected by the weather.

Organisers, however, said that they are keeping their fingers crossed.

LeT threat to 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi: US think-tank

LeT threat to 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi: US think-tank

PTI

New Delhi: The Commonwealth Games face a threat from Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba and other militant outfits, which, according to a US think-tank, may be planning an attack during the event.

Vice-president of Tactical Intelligence, Stratfor, Scott Stewart replied in affirmative when asked whether the sporting
event scheduled in October faces any terror threat.

"Yes. Two days after the February 13, 2010 blast in Pune, Ilyas Kashmiri (wanted al-Qaeda terrorist) threatened the Field Hockey World Cup, the Indian Premier League cricket competition and the Commonwealth Games," Stewart said.

In support of his claims, the Stratfor analyst quoted a warning of "continue attacks all across India until the Indian
army leaves Kashmir" posted by Kashmiri via the Asia Times Online on February 13 this year.

In his message, Kashmiri had also warned the world against sending participants to upcoming global sporting events —- including the Field Hockey World Cup, the Indian Premier League international cricket competition and the Commonwealth Games -- to be held in India this year.

"If you are a militant group planning an attack, the last thing you want to do is to provide a distinct warning and place the security forces on high alert.

"... There are, however, many different militant outfits (such as the LeT) that have an interest in hitting India and it is possible that one of them may be planning something," Stewart said.

He, however, added, "Again, we would not expect to hear a threat from a group that was planning an attack, especially
the closer we edge to the event they want to attack. They would be very quiet.

"Publicised threat statements made by militants are not a reliable way to judge the true threat to an event," said the Stratfor analyst.

Over 70 countries are likely to participate in the mega sporting event scheduled from October 3-14 this year.

Delhi Police and Central security agencies are striving hard to ensure fool-proof security for the event, which is being hosted by the country for the first time

Delhi Common Wealth Games 2010 Mini forest to come up at ITO chungi

 

Delhi Common Wealth Games 2010  Mini forest to come up at ITO chungi

Rumu Banerjee, TNN, Jul 9, 2010, 04.49am IST

NEW DELHI: It's the first mini-forest within the city and you can thank the Commonwealth Games 2010 for it.
The Delhi government is greening the ITO Chungi with over 8,000 trees for the Games the first such large concentration of greens in Delhi outside a city forest. The greening initiative will see the forest department plant both ornamental and native trees around the five loops along ITO Chungi as well as bamboo trees along the verges (identified as parts by the forest department). Around 3,000 bamboo trees of different species are planned to be planted.
The greening of the area, spread over 30 acres, is expected to go a long way towards compensating the large-scale cutting of trees that had taken place on the Yamuna riverbed when ITO Chungi came up. The area, which is being described as an urban forest, will be planted not only with native trees but also marigold shrubs, so as to highlight the ornamental aspect as well. Said KK Sharma, principal secretary (PWD), "We've been looking at greening flyovers, specially those with loops, as they are built over a large area. For this project, we had asked the consultants to suggest a substantial green cover as the diameter is quite big (at ITO Chungi).'' According to Sharma, the consultants suggested an urban forest, which was implemented by the forest department thereafter.
The plans are certainly ambitious. Senior forest department officials explained that while the loops would have 1,000 trees each, planted in concentric circles, the verges would be planted with bamboo trees. "The first ring in the loops would be a row of mixed trees trumpet tree, washingtonia, lagerestroemia. The next row would be of one type of tree amaltas, baheta, sheesham, jamun, neem, pilkhan, bakain, semal, arjun,'' said the official. The bamboo borders along the verges will be of three types yellow (vulgaris), green and the Buddha belly bamboo. Around 3,000 bamboo trees will be planted along the parts.
The good news is that work on the urban forest had started earlier in March this year. According to officials of the forest department, over 60% of the work has been completed so far. Said the official, "The length of the trees at present has been kept at 7-8 feet. These trees will take a little bit of time to grow and the full green effect will be visible only after the monsoon.''
The greening comes at a time when the government has been much criticized for the rampant mowing down of trees in the name of development for the upcoming Delhi Games 2010. While many trees were cut during the construction of ITO Chungi, around 700 were cut during construction at Siri Fort sports complex. A few hundred were also cut at Delhi University, again for the Games.

Delhi Common Wealth Games 2010 For Village security, school razed

Delhi Common Wealth Games 2010  For Village security, school razed

TNN, Jul 9, 2010, 05.23am IST

NEW DELHI: In an attempt to secure the Commonwealth Games Village, Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on Wednesday razed a school on the Yamuna Khadar, right behind the Akshardham Temple. The school catered to about 180 children of farmers and labourers working in and around the river bed.
Parminder Kaur Somal, who started the school four years back and was teaching here said, DDA had given them no prior notice and arrived with their bulldozers around noon. "The classes were in progress when the DDA team, accompanied by police personnel, arrived at the school. They gave us three hours to clear out and then brought the building down. One official also said if we would furnish an affidavit saying the school would only be reopened after the Games, it could be spared but what could we have done in three hours,'' she said.
While officials maintained the building was totally illegal and no structures were permitted on the river bed, those associated with the school pointed out that compared to the number of unauthorized structures that had come up on the river bed, many of them with the sanction of the government, this was only providing education to poor children who otherwise would never be able to afford going to school. "The government should have thought about giving the children an alternative space at least. If we had known about their plans to demolish the structure any earlier, we could have tried moving out to another place,'' said Somal.
She said eight acres land had been leased to the Delhi Peasant Society in 1949 for a period of 99 years and they had a stay order from the high court prohibiting any further construction in the area. "We have been running classes from nursery to V. Some children who passed out from here have also joined MCD schools. We were working with eight teachers and some volunteers. Now the children have again been left high and dry. We can't imagine what security threat they could have posed to the Games Village,'' said Somal.

Delhi Common Wealth Games 2010 Traffic, crowd control, private sleuths gear up for Commonwealth Games

 

Delhi Common Wealth Games 2010 Traffic, crowd control, private sleuths gear up for Commonwealth Games

PTI

New Delhi: For the Commonwealth Games, while the police and paramilitary forces focus on high threats such as an aerial bomb attack or sabotage, private security agencies are expected to monitor traffic, attend to parking woes and manage crowds at the various venues.

These agencies are gearing up to match international standards by supplementing manpower base, conducting specialised event security training and engaging foreign experts.

According to Central Association of Private Security Industry (CAPSI), the Delhi government is in the process of finalising the requirement and accordingly the roles and duties of private security agencies would be defined at an appropriate time.

"In Delhi, there are around 3 lakh security personnel working in private agencies.

We will provide security to all the civil establishments built especially for the Commonwealth Games," Kunwar Vikram Singh, Chairman, CAPSI told PTI adding that they have already provided the names of 27 selected agencies to the government.

Major buyers boosting demand during CWG 2010 would be CWG Organising Committee, venue owners, hotels, malls, movie theatres, tourist attractions like ASI monuments and museums, he says.

Private agency officials say the threat perception in India would be much bigger when compared to CWG 2006 in Melbourne as the number of athletes, organisers, spectators and general public is expected to surpass than the one in Australia.

"We have added additional 5000 security personnel in Delhi to meet the requirements and signed an MoU with an event security specialist company from Australia to develop and deliver specialist training to our security personnel," says Rituraj Sinha, COO, Security and Intelligence Services (SIS).

He adds, "We would also be bringing experts having past experience of handling Sydney Olympics and Melbourne Commonwealth Games."

According to SIS, the Games related activities are expected to add an additional business of Rs 300- Rs 350 crores in business revenue for the Indian security industry that is currently estimated at around Rs 10,000 crores.

"There is nothing from the government but a few private entities have contacted us to help them out in their mega events connected with CWG during the period," says Mansi Gupta, VP-Marketing, G4S India, a leading private security agency in the capital.

Rajiv Mathur, Director, Vision Secure Technologies, says, "Regular training courses are being conducted for security personnel to improve language and soft skills. We have also engaged international experts, foreign methodology and training techniques to match up to the international standards of security."

According to a rough estimates by an industry insider, the Delhi police and venue owners would be installing over 5000 security cameras for surveillance purposes.

"Over 1000 metal detectors and 200 baggage X-ray machines will also be used," he says.

Mathur adds, "Integration of various security systems like CCTV and communications medium is being done at the Central Control Room, smart cards for identification of players and visitors are being prepared, video images from a flying balloon would be installed at stadiums and venues."

After the Mumbai terror strikes in 2008 and the attack on Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore, security for the sporting event which would feature athletes from over 71 nations will be of a grave concern, says a senior Delhi police official.

Delhi Common Wealth Games 2010 Commonwealth Games test events may be hit

 

Delhi Common Wealth Games 2010 Commonwealth Games test events may be hit

DNA

New Delhi: There is a good chance that four Commonwealth Games test events lined up for this month may not be held as per schedule because of unavailability of venues.

An international invitational weightlifting event (July 14 to 16), a Federation Cup cycling event (July 23 to 25), an international swimming meet (July 27 to 31) and an Asian all-star athletics meet (July 29 and 30) are all expected to be postponed because different venues are still not ready.

All venues were scheduled to be completed by June 30 and the officials had been claiming all along that if at all this latest deadline would be missed, it would be only by some days. It is learnt that the venues are still running behind schedule and with less than three months left for the CWG to start, it will be another setback.

“It is not yet clear when these venues will be fit to hold competitions. The rains, too, are likely to have a direct or indirect bearing on the progress,” said an official.

All these events are already behind time, what with the deadlines for sports venues being revised time and again. An Asian youth netball meet, currently on in the environment friendly Thyagaraj Stadium, might remain the only test event scheduled for July to be held as planned.

The athletics and weightlifting events will take place at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium complex, which will also be the venue for the CWG opening and closing ceremonies.

The Indira Gandhi Stadium complex is being prepared for weightlifting and cycling, while the Shyama Prasad Mukherjee complex is being readied for swimming.

Lucknow:

‘Commonwealth Express’ arrived at Lucknow on Thursday.

Heralding the arrival of the Queen’s Baton, the ‘Commonwealth Express’ chugged into Charbagh Railway Station on Thursday, in all its lush green splendour. The stage was thus set for the Queen’s Baton Relay which arrives in the state capital at 4.15 am (at Itaunja) on Friday.

The Commonwealth Express— a special train to promote the Commonwealth Games to be organised in Delhi from October 3 to 14—will be open to public from 10.00 am on Friday on platform no. 8. Kirti Mishra, divisional sports secretary, Northern Railway, informed that the exhibition train will be open to public from 10.00 am to 8.00 pm on July 9 and 10, before leaving Lucknow for Allahabad.

Since the Commonwealth Games 2010 have been announced as ‘green games’, the colour for the train is just the right hue. The coaches of the train have information pertaining to Commonwealth Games and sports and also on information technology. Each coach announces the fast approaching Commonwealth Games in bold letters. On the front of the coaches, there are figures of athletes participating in different sports and the developments made in the field of information technology. To look after the security aspect of the train, GRP, RPF and PAC personnel have been deployed near the train.
