Following criticism from various quarters about the mess and hygiene conditions at the CWG Village complex, the Government has decided to withdraw maintenance responsibility from Delhi Development Authority (DDA). Cabinet Secretary KM Chandrasekhar has directed the Delhi Government to take charge of the housekeeping and cleanliness of the Commonwealth Games Village. The maintenance and housekeeping was earlier assigned to Delhi Development Authority (DDA), which is under the Ministry of Urban Development and Lieutenant Governor is the controlling authority in the national Capital.
Following the directions, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, along with her Principal Secretary PK Tripathi and Chief Secretary Rakesh Mehta, visited the Games village complex thrice since Wednesday night to take stock of the situation there. She then directed her officers to monitor the cleanliness of the Games village area and all the 34 towers, which will house the delegates and sportsperson during the mega-sporting event. On Thursday morning, Dikshit spent around three hours at the village complex and checked almost all 34 towers. She also reviewed the work being undertaken. The Chief Minister again visited the village complex in the evening to take stock of the preparations.
