New Delhi's top official has urged Indians to "pray" for the city's Common-wealth Games sporting venues to be completed on time, after massive delays in construction threatened the October 3 start.
In remarks broadcast Saturday, Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit said: "I can only pray and request the whole city and the country to pray."
Her comments came as the deadline for completion of construction projects for the Games, already dogged by ballooning costs and allegations of rampant corruption, was pushed back yet again.
