CAG sets itself CWG deadline
New Delhi, Oct. 18: The Comptroller and Auditor General of India has begun probing the expenditure of `70 crores reportedly incurred by the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee to pay the salaries of personal trainers and their Indian assistants who were hired to work with participating athletes between September 26 and October 13 at the practice venues.
This revelation was made on Monday when the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, Mr Vinod Rai, said CAG will complete all its investigations regarding the allegations of corruption in the recently-concluded Commonwealth Games within 90 days.
The matter of such great expense being incurred on trainers and facilities is also under the scanner of the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC).
On Sunday, Organising Committee officials were summoned by CVC officials and asked to explain the details of the money spent.
The CAG is looking into 22 cases of alleged financial irregularities, of which 16 cases are also being probed by the CVC.
