Fennell gave a thumbs up to the security set-up for the
Games and said, "We leave with comfort that the planning of
security is top-class. We have the security for Delhi, the
Games, operations and venues."
For a man who had been vocal about his discontent with
the arrangements until just a few months ago, Fennell said he
leaves relieved this time and even criticised what he called
"inaccurate" reports in the media.
"I leave Delhi with reassurance. There is a tremendous
amount of detail work to be done but this is not new to Delhi.
I have charged the Organising Committee to continue the work
and cover the details," he said.
"We have come to the last lap of a marathon that started
six and a half years ago but this last lap is the most
difficult.
"We must not give attention to frivolous and inaccurate
reports. I end by making a reminder, these Games are Games
which will reflect on all of us. So, let us ensure that we
report accurately and honestly," he added.
Fennell said the Games have given India a chance to
emerge as a sporting powerhouse.
"I think India has a fantastic opportunity to grow by
light years in sports. It is upto you to use these facilities
after the Games," he said.
"This city needed construction because all your venues
were 20 years old. But there is one assurance that we will be
ready. The concerns are there and they would be there right
till the opening ceremony but we just have to ensure that we
are on top of it," he added. PTI ATK
