India working to secure 2010 Games, says chief
Security is the prime concern ahead of next year's Commonwealth Games
in New Delhi due to the tense situation in the region, organisers said
on Wednesday.
"We have to satisfy the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) on the
security aspect and I am confident we can do that," organising committee
chairman Suresh Kalmadi told local media.
"Security is a very important aspect of the Games and we need to have
more communication with the CGF on that."
Security concerns in South Asia have grown after 166 people were
killed in militant attacks in Mumbai last November, and gunmen ambushed
the bus carrying the Sri Lankan cricket team in Pakistan in March. NEW
