Auditor's explosive report on CWG: Highlights

New Delhi:  The report of the government's auditor - the Comptroller and Auditor General - has been tabled in Parliament. Among those it faults for mismanagement are Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and the Lieutenant Governor Tejinder Khanna. These are the highlights of the 800-page report:

  • Suresh Kalmadi appointed Organising Committee Chairman on recommendations of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) in December 2004 despite objections from then Sports Minister

  • Streetscaping project carried out by Delhi government was ill-conceived, ill-planned; caused wasteful expenditure of Rs. 101 crore

  • Serious irregularities found in award of contract for construction of CWG residential complex to Emaar MGF

  • Instances of favouritism, bias, largely guided by Organising Committee, found in selecting surfaces for athletic tracks, hockey turf, badminton courts
