Speaking to reporters, Pillai said that a review meeting took place with Delhi Police Commissioner Y.S.Dadwal, the Delhi chief secretary, the National Security Guard (NSG) director general and senior police officers, including the venue commanders.
“In the complete review, we looked at various issues. Our aim is to ensure that the whole of Delhi is safe and not alone the CWG venues,” Pillai said.
“I have also visited the C4I control room. Except for one venue, all venues have been linked with C4I,” he said. C4i is an integrated control room of the Delhi Police.
Pillai said that if the venues were handed over earlier, the ministry would have ensured a more foolproof arrangement.
“Even otherwise, we have made elaborate arrangements to ensure that the city is safe,” he added.
The meeting at the Delhi Police headquarters, also attended by special commissioners, joint commissioners and deputy commissioners, discussed steps needed to finetune the security preparations in the capital that is gearing up to host some 7,000 athletes and officials from 71 countries and territories who will be attending the Games.
