IS CWG JINXED??

'May be or may be not'.There are a series of happenings affecting CWG preparations currently.Earlier,a shoot out at jama masjid raised a question on the security and now,its the turn of the hygiene.
Australia's swimming coach has advised his team to be cautious on their visit to India.According to him,if one can get sick after visiting a western style country,then the subcontinent has bugs which they have no resistance to.They are going to live with 7000 or 8000 people,all of whom have different hygiene habits.so to keep things like vomiting and diarrhea (from over powering months of preparations) at bay,Australian team has taken all the preventive measures.They have given hand sanitizing gel,probiotics to boost immunity and long sleeved shirts,long trousers and bug repellent plus mosquito zappers to gaurd against diseases like dengue and malaria.

Well,this may seem to us as a 'contrast' to all the arrangements done by the CWG OC to ensure a hygenic environment.The dinning area, spread over 3,000 square km, has counters serving cuisines of Western, Asian, African, Italian and Indian flavours, besides having separate counters for vegetarian food, salads, juices, snacks and sweet dishes. It is designed in such a way that it will cater to 2300 people at a time. The athletes would have the option to choose from six different types of cuisines of various countries with 120 'healthy' dishes on display everyday.

In all 5,00,000 meals would be served during the whole event. There would be 250 chefs, including five from Malaysia, Africa, London and two from Australia. Hygiene would be the top priority and every food item and water sample would have to go through the layers of food safety monitors,"said Rick Aylett, Director of the Delaware North Companies, the catering company for the CWG.
