The head of the Commonwealth Games has rushed to New Delhi for emergency talks after a ceiling collapsed in one of the venues, the latest in a string of problems.
There has been widespread anger over India's last-minute preparations for the event, due to start in little more than a week.
Commonwealth Games Federation president Mike Fennell has requested a meeting with Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh.
Mr Fennell's arrival comes as organisers struggle to cope with unfinished buildings, a filthy athletes' village - where excrement was found in some rooms - a bridge collapse, an outbreak of dengue fever and numerous other problems. In the latest twiat in the crisis, part of a ceiling inside the weightlifting venue collapsed.
The Games, which bring together more than 7,000 athletes from the 71 countries and territories from the former British empire every four years, was supposed to showcase India as an emerging power in the international community. Instead, it has become a major embarrassment.
Athletes were due to begin arriving on Thursday in the games village, which international sports officials have called unfinished, dirty, hobbled by numerous infrastructure problems and even "unsafe and unfit for human habitation".

That's just because all the construction workers are too busy taking computer classes.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ~ WOW, what a ride~!!!

Golf clobs, dresses. I gather it's only a matter of time before Girard offers something for penis enlargement.

And here I thought we had a new, highly competent moderator, whose job was to clean up spam. Nice to see you're on the case, Marty.
