The report as on June 25, 2009 revealed that only the JN Stadium to be used for the WADA lab and administration has been 100 per cent complete. Work on the JN Stadium (Athletics) is 53.90 per cent over, the JN Stadium (hostel) is 96 per cent complete, IG Stadium (Gymnastics) 55.8 and the MDC National Stadium

(hockey) is 75 per cent done. With 16 months to go for the Commonwealth Games, the archery venue at Yamuna Sports Complex is in the worst state. The project, under Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is just 6.75 per cent done. Venues for weightlifting (43 per cent), wrestling (43), cycling (36), aquatics (42), Games Village (49.3), shooting (42), badminton and squash (46), table tennis (46), rugby (35), tennis (45) and the big bore shooting range in Gurgaon (40) are all in the red for not even managing to complete half of the work.

While most projects are being carried out under the guidance of the Sports Authority of India, the DDA, Games Organising Committee, All India Tennis Association, Delhi University (for rugby) and the CRPF (big bore shooting range) are also the offenders.

India won the bid to host the Commonwealth Games in 2003 and it is surprising to see that work hasn't progressed much in this six years. Sports Minister MS Gill admitted that the delay was mainly due to the start of work at many of the venues. To a question posed by Rajya Sabha MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Gill replied in a statement, "The work at Dr SPM Swimming Complex, Cycling Velodrome and the Wrestling Stadium at Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium Complex, suffered a delayed start due to design issues and certain clearances. "These have since been resolved and the work has now achieved optimum level. The work at Dr Karni Singh Shooting Ranges of SAI/CPWD, also suffered a delayed start, due to certain design issues." The list went on to include the training centres (Chhatrasal Stadium and Ludlow Castle Hall of GNCTD), which according to the minister's statement, "started late due to some clearance related issues." However, Gill claimed his Ministry is keeping a close tab on the progress of work and said the infrastructure would be ready in time for the Commonwealth Games.
