Work for 2010 Games will be completed in time: Dikshit

Dikshit said the Delhi government is getting help from all corners,including the Centre and the authorities concerned. “But,multiplicity of authorities,besides some others,are creating some obstacles,” the Chief Minister said.

“Hosting the Commonwealth Games in a well-planned manner is a matter of prestige for the country.”

On the 1500 MW power plant in Bawana,scheduled to start in April next year,she said it will be “delayed by 3-4 months”. The foundation stone of the gas-based power plant,which aims at improving power situation in the city ahead of the 2010 Games,was laid by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in March last year.

Dikshit recently met Union Minister for Heavy Industries Vilasrao Deshmukh to discuss the matter. The Minister asked BHEL to monitor the project. “Some machines are still to be imported,” Dikshit said.
