There is bad news for hacks looking to get spicy and juicy news stories from the 2010 Commonwealth Games Organising Committee (OC). With too much negative publicity last year, OC chairman Suresh Kalmadi has finally taken steps to plug the leaks.
Better late than never seems to be Kalmadi’s motto and he has appointed his chief confidant Lalit Bhanot, who is also secretary general of the OC, as the official spokesperson.
Last year, OC vice president Randhir Singh went to town blasting the organisers. But in this crucial year, with just 10 months to go before the games, Kalmadi needs all the good press he can get as time is fast running out.
