In a major embarrassment for the government, fourteen Australian companies have claimed that they have still not been paid for their services rendered in the Commonwealth games 2010. These companies include contractors, equipment suppliers, vendors and consultants. The Australian contractors have claimed that they are yet to get payments between 10-20 million dollars for the different services performed during the opening and closing ceremonies. Intervening in the matter, The Australian government has asked the Govt of India to ensure that the companies are paid their dues.
The Australian Government has raised with the Indian Government and the Organizing Committee the situation of a number of Australian companies which have not been paid for different services performed for the games. We have asked for early finalization of these accounts in accordance with the relevant contracts,” an Australian High Commission Spokesperson said.The Australian contractors have also complained that 100 goods containers of equipments are still stuck in New Delhi, including audio, lighting and staging equipments because the OC hasn’t been able to complete the paperwork regarding these equipments.
Delhi court today dismissed the anticipatory bail plea of TS Darbari, a former official of the Common wealth Games organizing committee, in an another corruption case relating to procurement of video screens from a London-based firm last year.“The matter involves crores of rupees and in view of the serious allegations made against the accused, I do not find it suitable to grant him preventative bail. His application is dismissed,” special CBI judge AS Yadav said.Darbari, who was arrested by the CBI in one of the two cases registered against him and other two OC officials Sanjay Mahendroo and M Jayachandran, has moved the anticipatory bail application to thwart his possible re-arrest in another case.
