Canadian sports minister terms CWG media reports “exaggerated”

NEW DELHI - Canadian Sports Minister Gary Lunn telephoned his Indian counterpart M.S. Gill Sunday, saying he was not perturbed by the negative reports in the international media and a full contingent would be sent for the Oct 3-14 Commonwealth Games.

“We are not worried by international media report on CWG Delhi which are often exaggerated. Difficulties do come at such large events. We had them in the Vancouver Winter Games. We are confident that you will overcome them. We are coming with full force and looking forward to meeting you in Delhi,” Lunn told Gill in a late night telephonic conversation.

In response, Gill told him that Indian authorities are working very hard to overcome the shortcomings.
