Foreign firms which were a part of the Common wealth Games are mulling legal action against Suresh Kalmadi led CWG OC due to professional indifference, non-payment of bills and no efforts to communicate. It has been learnt that millions of dollars are owed to 30-40 foreign companies that helped in the implementation of the opening and closing ceremonies of the sports mega-event held last October. The Australian company behind the fireworks at the Common wealth Games in New Delhi has accused the organisers of unethical behaviour, saying they had not paid their bills.
Andrew Howard said his company, Howard and Sons, was still owed Aus$300,000. Howard said his was one of about 30-40 companies from around the world which had worked on the glittering opening and closing ceremonies and was still waiting for payment or apparatus. “I’ll speak on my company’s behalf, our company still is to be paid 300,000 dollars. We’ve fulfilled our contract in its entirety to a very, very high standard and at every step of the way the organising community has unsuccessful to distribute its end of the contract.
It’s an extremely frustrating situation. We are all so sick of the unprofessional, unlawful and unethical conduct of the OC and they need to be held accountable to their contracts,” he said. A lot of Australian companies have claimed that they have still not been paid for their services rendered during the Common wealth games 2010. These companies include contractors, apparatus suppliers, vendors and consultants. Australian contractors have claimed that they are yet to receive payments between 10-20 million dollars for the various services performed during the opening and closing ceremonies.
