Unprecedented security would ensure safe Delhi CWG: Hooper | | Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) chief executive, Mike Hooper, insists that unprecedented security would ensure a safe Delhi Commonwealth Games. In spite
of widespread concerns in the build-up to the October 3-14 Games, Hooper said:
"I honestly do, hand on heart, believe that we will have a safe and secure
environment
in and around the Games venues." "From everything I have known from living here
for three years, coming here for seven years, there is certainly no diminution
of the commitment given by the government of India, the Delhi government and Delhi
police to deliver a safe and secure environment," he added. Hooper further said
that a four-layered security operation would be carried out during the Games to
give paramount importance to the safety of athletes and spectators "Security is
of paramount importance and we cannot compromise and I don't believe anyone is
compromising," The News quoted Hooper, as saying. Earlier, the Australian
Government
had warned of a high risk of a terrorist attack during the Games in New Delhi,
while several New Zealand sports bodies had threatened to pull out citing security
concerns.
