The fate of eight hotel and three stadium projects meant for the Commonwealth Games hangs in balance as the approving body, the Delhi Urban Arts Commission continues to be headless.
The Chairman and three members of the DUAC had resigned from their posts on February 20 alleging that they had been wrongly accused of stalling projects related to the Commonwealth Games due to be held in Delhi in 2010. However, no fresh appointments have been made yet.
The Commission will be constituted soon as we have sought the nominations from various concerned agencies for the posts, said a senior Urban Development Ministry official, adding a three-member committee is scrutinising the nominations.
8220;We have received some nominations and are expecting a few more. A final decision will be taken soon for filling the post of the chairman and three members of the Commission,8221; said the official.
Proposals for construction of hotels before the Games at Shahdara, Anand Vihar, Mandawali, Hari Nagar, Jasola, Rohini and Wazirabad are awaiting mandatory clearance from the DUAC.
DUAC also has to clear proposals for construction of hostel and media accommodation at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium and construction of weight lifting stadium in JNU complex.
