Not giving any deadline for completing work left on Commonwealth Games projects, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit Tuesday promised that all venues and the Games Village will be ready before the mega event begins Oct 3.

Work at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium and the Games Village besides other venues will be over and everything will be in place before the commencement of the Games on October 3. There are tiny things only left and that will be done, Dikshit said on the sidelines of a function here.

Speaking about the ongoing work in the capital with just five days to go for the Games, the chief minister claimed that work continued till the Games inauguration day in other countries as well.

Such things do happen, but I can assure you that everything will be in place before Oct 3 and we will host the best ever Games, she added.
