The schools in satellite cities like, Gurgaon, Noida etc also should be compulsorily be ordered to be closed during the CWG 2010 period as children from Delhi and vice versa are commuting. In addition to this on security angle of veiw when we are reducing the traffic on road, the security personal can easily carry out their frisking / random checking job and thereby can ensure a foolproof security during this period. Since the CWG 2010 is prestigious function and sports personnel around 75-80 countries and diplomats are attending the same we have to curtain rush on the roads at its minimum.
