A total of 61 athletes from the national capital will compete for medals in different disciplines in the Commonwealth Games, Chief Minister Sheila Dik**** announced on Sunday.
"We are hoping that they will bring laurels to the city with their outstanding performances," Dik**** said after unfurling the tricolour during the Independence Day celebrations here.
Allaying apprehension about the preparations, the Chief Minister assured that the fortnight-long event from October 3 to 14 will be the finest in the history of the Games despite the controversies surrounding it.
Dik**** also exhorted people to render all possible contribution in making the Games a great success. "We have already given a facelift to the city to give a pleasing atmosphere to the visitors, we must be ready to give them a warm welcome with our civic sense," she said.
Dik**** said the mega event had given an opportunity to her government to enhance the existing infrastructure in the city. "The Games have given us an opportunity to undertake a large number of developmental projects."
"The city government is close to commission the first-ever elevated road from the Games Village to the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium, the main venue of the Commonwealth Games and a ring road by-pass, which are marvellous pieces of the modern architecture," she said.
