ACGA reiterates commitment to CWG

Melbourne, Sep 20 (IndiaReport)
The Australian Commonwealth Games Association (ACGA) today said it remains committed to the next month&aposs New Delhi Games despite an attack on a tourist bus in the host city.
The shooting incident in which two Taiwanese were injured, happened yesterday outside the historic Jama Masjid.
The attack prompted Australia&aposs Department of Foreign Affairs to issue a travel warning to its citizens, saying there was a high risk of a terror strike during the Games.
ACGA chief executive Perry Crosswhite though said they are satisfied with the security arrangements for the October 3-14 sporting extravaganza.
"The shooting should not give rise to an increased level of concern. At the moment, we do not see a need to change our planning which continues to maintain a high level of security awareness,"Crosswhite was quoted as saying by the&aposSydney Morning Herald&apos.
