The Central Public Works Department, the main construction arm of the government, today said that upgrading of all venues for the Commonwealth Games will be completed in a fortnight.

"We have already completed 7 of the 10 Games venues. The remaining three will be completed in a fortnight," Director General of CPWD B K Chugh told reporters here on the 156th foundation day of the organisation.

The venues which remain incomplete so far are the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, the SPM Swimming Pool complex and the new weightlifting stadium in the Nehru Stadium complex.

Chugh said that the civil work in all these venues have been completed and only the peripheral works like greenery, pavements and laying of cables were being done which is expected to be over in another 15 days. (PTI)
