CWG Village builders penalised Rs 183 cr

The guests have left the Commonwealth Games Village and the ghosts are returning to haunt the builder Emaar MGF and DDA which were awarded the project. The Urban Development Ministry which governs the DDA has fired the first salvo against the builder.

CNN-IBN learns that DDA is taking action against Emaar MGF for failing to complete the project on time.

DDA has fired the first salvo. The Centre will confiscate Rs 183 crore bank guarantee given by Emaar MGF for failing to deliver Games village on time.

CWG Village builders penalised Rs 183 cr
The DDA wants an additional Rs 84 crore as damages from Emaar MGF for going beyond the Games project deadline and not completing landscaping work.

It has decided to invoke the bank guarantee of Rs 183 crore. Legal action will be taken by DDA to recover other expenditure that includes - Rs 44.65 crore for not completing work including landscaping, Rs 38.65 crore for not completing the project on time. Sources say Emaar MGF also even failed to pay water and power bills.

In the middle of this fight between DDA and Emaar MGF close to 800 people who have paid anything between Rs 1.8 crore to Rs 4.8 crore, to own an apartment in this high-end project, are left in the lurch. Emaar was the sole bidder in 2007 and got 27.2 acres to build 1168 apartments.

The builders plan went haywire when their ambitious Rs 8000 crore IPO failed in February 2008.

However, DDA bailed out the builder paying Rs 770 crore and got rights to sell 333 apartments. Things then went from bad to worse. Emaar was denied a completion certificate in March this year (2010) as DDA accused the builder of unauthorized construction, Emaar MGF also took DDA to court. During the duration of the Games the Village got a temporary occupation certificate.

Emaar MGF is talking of a three month delay. With the Government asking the builder to account for every penny, occupying these flats will take more time than promised.

Commonwealth Gold Medalist for more shooting ranges

Kolhapur girl Rahi Sarnobat, who along with Anisa Sayyed, won the Commonwealth Games gold in the pairs 25 m pistol event, on Saturday said she was so sure of her performance at the event that she had told folks at home she will return with gold.

"I was extremely confident of my performance. Before the Games, I told those at home that I will bag the gold," Sarnobat said at the official residence of her maternal uncle Shivajirao Deshmukh, Chairman of Maharashtra Legislative Council.

The Sarnobat-Sayyed pair created a new CWG record by breaking the eight-year mark (1,150) of Australians. "I am happy that we broke the record," she said.

Sarnobat said her next target is the Asian Games, to be held in China from November 12-27.

"I underwent three years' training at the Pune range, which is among the two best ranges in India. The other world-class range is at Delhi."

More world-class shooting ranges should come up to help shooters practice and vie for global glory, she said.

"Chinese shooters have an edge as they have 50 class ranges there. There should be good ranges all over India."

Sarnobat is happy with Maharashtra Government offering her a Class 1 officer's post in recognition of her achievement.

"However, the cash prize Rs 10 lakh (for gold medalists) should be hiked to at least Rs 15 lakh."

"Look at other states. They have increased prize money for their CWG medal winners," she said.

Australia will Pay for Damages at CWG Village

The Australian Commonwealth Games Association (ACGA) has regretted one of its athlete's indecent behaviour a few days back and has agreed to pay for the damage caused at the Games Village in a rowdy incident after Games closure, Lalit Bhanot, Commonwealth Games Organizing Committee secretary general, said Friday.

In a statement Bhanot said: "The media reports regarding Australian celebrations at the Athletes' Village and the resultant damage to a washing machine are true. The person in charge of Tower 21 brought it to the notice of the Village authorities. The issue was taken up with the ACGA, who regretted the incident and agreed to pay for the damage as per guidelines."

Commonwealth Games 2010

After the closing ceremony Thursday night, unidentified athletes dropped a washing machine from a balcony in the Australian section of the Games Village. Meanwhile, the athlete, whose identity has been withheld, was sent back home for bad behaviour some days back.

Delhi Police said no case has been filed in the incident as they have not received any official complaint from the organising committee.

The Australian high commission in a press release Friday morning termed as "sloppy journalism to a new low" the media report that "enraged by the humiliating loss, some athletes went berserk, destroying electrical fittings and furniture on Tuesday and Wednesday".

According to the report which quoted Delhi Police sources, the irate athletes also shouted slogans against batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar, who played a pivotal role in ensuring India's victory in the Bangalore Test match.

Terming the report "factually wrong, insulting to Australia's athletes and can only be described as a fantasy", the high commission release said: "It badly lets down a quality newspaper".

The release, however, admitted: "There were indeed some spirited celebrations involving the Australian team and a number of other teams at the Athletes' Village."

"We can confirm that in the course of those celebrations, a washing machine was damaged, though it remains unclear who did the damage, what their nationality was, and whether it was deliberate or accidental," the Australian high commission said.

India shining as Commonwealth Games set for Gala Closing

As the curtains come down on Thursday, the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi will be remembered as much for India's ability to pull off a world class mega event as about sporting glory - controversies notwithstanding.


They will leave behind a city with spanking new infrastructure that played host to 6,700 competitors from 71 nations and territories who were given top class security -- and glimpses of the country's rich cultural heritage and hospitality.

The closing ceremony Thursday promises to be a spectacular and youthful song and dance celebration, with a laser show as its highlight, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, which is where the grand opening ceremony was held Oct 3.

Involving 7,000 performers, the theme of the closing function will showcase martial arts and include segments like 'Tribute to the Motherland' and 'Music of Universal Love'. The Rs.400 million ($9 million) aerostat - the world's largest helium balloon - that was the star attraction at the opening ceremony - will again be put to use.
