Delhi Games organisers owe millions

Suppliers to this year's Commonwealth Games in Delhi have told news agency Reuters that they are owed millions of dollars by Games' organisers.
One company, in charge of the opening and closing ceremonies, said they had yet to receive final payments and had been unable to re-export their own equipment since the Games ended on 14th October.
Reuters quoted International Creative Consultant Ric Birch, who has organised ceremonies for Olympics and Commonwealth Games since 1982, stating âthis is a scandalous situation. I find it outrageous an organising committee behaves like that.
"The behaviour of organisers and Indian government agencies has been so shameful that any international company must beware of entering into any business contracts with Indian government agencies.
"We have written to everyone from Games organisers to government officials to the International Olympic Committee member for India and we have received no reply. Not one of them replied."
Reuters reported that, according to correspondence with organisers and officials, Birch's company is one of about a dozen still owed several million dollars for work carried out at the Games.
