Friday, Sep 24, 2010



The exclusive Commonwealth Games (CWG) lanes between Indira Gandhi International Airport and the Games Village will remain closed to the public on Saturday, Delhi Traffic Police said.

As many athletes and their trainers will arrive Saturday, the dedicated Games lanes will be closed for the general public between 9.30 a.m. and 10.30 a.m., said Satyendra Garg, joint commissioner of traffic.

'All the lanes are expected to be fully operational by Monday as most of the athletes and officials are expected to check in by Sunday,' said Garg.

'People are advised to take alternative to the roads having Games lanes, starting from Monday,' he added.

These restrictions are not applicable to the motor vehicles of Delhi Police, ambulances, fire brigades and other emergency service vehicles.

Some 7,000 participants and officials from 71 teams are expected to attend the Oct 3-14 Commonwealth Games, India's biggest sporting event after the 1982 Asian Games.
