NEW DELHI: Seven five-star hotels, three bus terminals and 25 flyovers are part of the infrastructure that would come up in the capital ahead of the Commonwealth Games 2010, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said Tuesday.
While pledging that all efforts will be made to make the games a success, Dikshit said the Games Village will accommodate 8,500 athletes and officials of the participating countries.
"Seven new five-star hotels, three new bus terminals and 25 flyovers would come up in the capital before the commencement of the Commonwealth Games 2010," Dikshit said.
"The Games Villages would be developed to accommodate around 8,500 sports persons and officials," she added.
The chief minister was addressing a conference organised by the PHDCCI on 'Preparing for the Commonwealth Games 2010: Opportunities & Role for Business'.
