Buzz in 2012

Delhi is all set for its biggest event ever – Commonwealth Games 2010. To standardize all the facilities in the capital city, the Government is providing Delhi with a wonderful make-over in every aspect. There are a number of issues to look after when it comes to arranging for the costliest event of the country ever. In this regard, the Government is working on transportation, accommodation, security, electricity, sightseeing and every possible sector.

To facilitate the guests in the city in October 2010 – roads, flyovers, stadiums, shopping malls, security, power backup, and hotels – everything is under the process of advancement. To provide the athletes and officials with free accommodation, a modern-comfortable Games Village is being designed on National Highway 24, near Akshardham Temple. The Games Villas will be facilitated with all kinds of high-end health facilities, security, pollution-free environment, transportation etc.

For better transport, almost all the interior and nearby areas are linked by Metro Rail. Apart from this hassle free mode of transportation, a broad lane will also be reserved on selected highways for the participants.

To overcome the language issue with all the taxi/cab and auto rickshaw drivers, the Government is designing a scheme under which about 1,000 people will learn English every month. As the Commonwealth Games 2010 will also strengthen tourism factors in India, this English teaching scheme will also be applied to the nearby tourist destinations like Agra, Mathura, Bhopal, Gwalior, Gaya, Puri, Jaipur etc.

The power production capacity will also be increased to about 7,000 MW in Delhi (from the current 4,500 MW). Apart from the above mentioned facilities, a free trip to the wonder monument Taj Mahal will also be provided to all the athletes by the Indian Government.
