The facts and figures given along with the story make it easier for the reader to understand and give an overall positive outlook to the story. My problem with the story, however, is that although is appears to be totally unbiased and thoroughly based on facts, the way it is presented gave an idea how this country needs an external push all the time for development to occur. The whole hullabaloo over CWG had definitely proved to be a boon for the city. First the metros, the highways, flyovers, and now finally the health sector- the city is making progress in all areas. But the sad part is that all this is being done mainly for people who will be here for the CWG. When Bush visited India some years back, a whole new set of flyovers and wide roads were constructed. Why is that we need motivation from outside to plunge into hardcore development work?
Also, as I mentioned before, even though a lot has been taken care of, there are still a few problems which the government chooses not to see. There is no action plan for outbreak of any epidemic, specially dengue cases, which is expected to rise this year. Mosquito breeding peaks in October, as the weather is conducive, therefore the risk factor in this case is very high.
CWG have done a lot of good to the City in terms of development. Hopefully all this will be restored even after the Games are over.
All the best to Delhi for hosting CWG for the very first time.
