PTI | March 25, 2011



Prime minister Manmohan Singh-appointed Shunglu committee will submit another three reports on alleged irregularities in Commonwealth Games related projects by March 29.

The reports will highlight several inadequacies on part of government officials and contractors in executing several works for the sporting extravaganza held here between October 3-14 last year.

"We will submit three more reports by March 29. They will be on Commonwealth Games Organising Committee and Games venues related matters," Shunglu told PTI.

The committee has already submitted its reports on host broadcasting deal by Prasar Bharti, construction of Commonwealth Games Village and on City infrastructure related projects to the PMO.

However, Shunglu denied to divulge further details on the probe or the findings submitted by him and said that "Everything is in the report. They are self explanatory."

In its first report submitted on January 31 on alleged irregularities in awarding broadcasting rights during the mega event, the committee recommended strict action against suspended Chief Executive Officer of Prasar Bharti B S Lalli and former Director General (Doordarshan) Aruna Sharma under relevant Sections of IPC and Prevention of Corruption Act for their alleged act of omission and commission.

Whereas in its second and third report on Games Village and City Infrastructure, it named Delhi Lt Governor Tejinder Khanna and Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit for alleged inadequacies.
