Around 1500 security personnel should have been carrying out anti-incommode checks, but with construction still underway on various venues, deployment has been put on hold till August.
Another thing that is raining misery on the build-up to the Games is the monsoon.
Newly constructed stadiums for sports like table tennis, squash, badminton and shooting range are already crumbling under the showers. There is seepage and flooding in some of the spanking new venues, while the roofs of many have collapsed. These damages have put back the construction by 10-15 days.
The Commonwealth Games has already voraciously devoured a lot of money and is now the costliest Games ever to be staged.
From an estimated £124 million when the bid was first made, the cost is now around £5.4 billion and is tipped to cross the £650 billion-mark with the government struggling to raise money for it.
Where is this money coming from?
