The Union Cabinet today approved additional fund for the expeditious completion of capital's infrastructure for the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
On a day when the Commonwealth Games Federation delegation inspected proposed venues to take stock of Delhi's preparation for the Games, the cabinet decided to allot more money.
"There are certain areas in which the organisers are lagging behind and that's why the cabinet decided to allot some extra fund so that infrastructure is ready well in time," a source told PTI.
The money is especially for the Nehru Stadium, which will host the opening and closing ceremony besides athletics, lawn bowls and weightlifting competitions and Jamia Milia Islamia, venue for rugby 7s and table tennis.
The Commonwealth Games are scheduled to be held from October 3 to 14 and over 6,000 athletes from 71 countries are expected to take part in the mega event.
