The Commonwealth Games, set to be hosted by India starting on the 3rd of October, have appeared in the news frequently as of late due to controversy and problems that have arose. According to Khaleej Times, there have not only been structural problems, but countries are advising athletes to delay their departure to the games amid concerns for their safety. Apart from several roof issues including one that partially collapsed, flooding from storms and athletic housing with urine and feces around it are raising worries. Another problem is stagnant water, which is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, a carrier of dengue fever which has afflicted many local residents. Security is also a problem, with two shooting incidents related to the games since March.
I also found a timeline on the major points of the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
