We at Yamuna Jiye Abhiyaan (YJA) suggest the selection of site for the games village for CG 2010 in Delhi on following grounds:
a)It should be located in the city west of the river on logistic reasons since the airports and most stadiums and other sporting facilities are located there
b)It should preferably be close to Jawaharlal Nehru (JN) Stadium, since both the opening and closing event for the games and many other sporting events would be held there
c)The construction costs (without compromising on the quality) should be as economical as possible (since public money is being spent for a event to be organised otherwise by a non-government body viz., the IOA)
d)The construction of the games village or activities related to it should not compromise the historical and archeological values of the city
e)The people displaced from the river bed in 2006 who were eking out a living in the JJ clusters therein may benefit from the construction activities carried out for the CG 2010
f)The construction should be in line with the propositions contained in the MPD 2021 for revival of dilapidated and outdated buildings in the city.
