Delhi Divided, Ministers Now Have Their Own Areas To Look After

All Cabinet ministers in Delhi have been asked to watch their terrain and ensure there are no lapses during the Commonwealth Games.

In an informal meeting convened by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Wednesday all ministers were warned that the smallest oversight can lead to major embarrassment during the Games.

"Her main concern was that the deadlines for several projects that are already stretched thin should be met at all cost. Another reason for asking us to oversee work is that she does not want aesthetics of projects compromised in the last-minute rush," said a minister.

Ministers have, therefore, been asked to take charge of parts of the city they live in.

Education minister Arvinder Singh Lovely has been told to monitor progress at the Games Village and Yamuna Sports Complex, which has faced a lot of flak due to the delays and also for its design. The project has been undertaken by the Delhi Development Authority.
