“The NSFs were asked to vacate the stadia premises to facilitate renovation/ reconstruction prior to the Commonwealth Games 2010 and were provided temporary accommodation in the NDMC premises on rental basis. The rent was being paid on the account of the Organising Committee of the CWG,” IOA acting president VK Malhotra stated in a letter to Sports Minister Ajay Maken.
“Now all the five SAI stadia have been handed over back to SAI and there are large rooms lying vacant.
“I had written several letters to your predecessor prior to the CWG and after that to re-allot office space to the NSFs to enable them to set up their offices once again in SAI Stadia, especially in view of the fact that Organising Committee of the CWG-2010 has stopped paying the rent to NDMC and NDMC in turn, served notices to all NSFs to vacate the premises immediately,” he added.
