CWG infrastructure will be ready in time: MS Gill

India is "pushing the hardest" to ensure that the infrastructure for the 2010 Commonwealth Games is ready in time, Sports Minister MS Gill said on Wednesday as MPs across the spectrum expressed concern in the Rajya Sabha over the country's preparedness to host the event. "We are here in a situation where we are pushing the hardest to see that the infrastructure is ready in time to enable the staging of test events (before the October 3-14, 2010 Games)," Gill said while responding to a calling attention motion in the house. "It is now a question of coming out with dignity and honour. Today the country, the people, the Prime Minister, everyone is clear; please get it ready in time," the minister maintained. "This is something that concerns me all the time," he said, adding that a group of ministers under Urban Development Minister S Jaipal Reddy meets once a week to monitor the progress in constructing the stadia and other infrastructure. The Government, he said, was totally focused and doing everything that could be done to ensure that the stadia, the Games villages and other infrastructure for the event were readied in time.
