Our favourite city may well have landed itself in a soup with the Commonwealth Games Federation. The chairman of the coordinating committee recently told media that unless the work on the Games village is completed in time, Delhi may jeopardise its chances of hosting the Games. The delay is because the site, next to the Akshardham Complex, is stuck in a legal mire following a PIL that claims that it will deplete groundwater (the venue lies on the Yamuna riverbed). Is this a typical case of the city trying to bite off more than it can chew or will the legal wrangle be resolved quickly? IOA chief Suresh Kalmadi says he is optimistic that all will be well. We'll wait and watch.
