New Delhi, September 21: The BJP today said the collapse of an under-construction foot overbridge at Jawaharlal Nehru stadium and the statements of Commonwealth Games Federation President Mike Fennel show that the situation is “worrisome” and asked the government to take appropriate steps.
“The situation is worrisome. Government is unable to convince us about both the level of preparedness and the security. What will make this government understand that this is a SOS situation?” BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said.
A 95-metre long under-construction foot overbridge collapsed today evening, injuring 27 labourers, five of whom are said to be in a serious condition.
Earlier, CWG Federation President Fennel, in a letter to Cabinet Secretary K M Chandrashekar, expressed concern over the accommodation being provided to athletes at the Games Village.
