New Delhi, Oct 23 (IANS) The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC)
Saturday denied CVC (Central Vigilance Commission) reports that allege
that NDMC used substandard materials in the construction of two
Commonwealth Games venues.

'We have not received any reports from the CVC so far. The CTE (Chief
Technical Examination) wing did conduct some tests some time back and
we have replied to them,' NDMC spokesperson Anand Tiwari told IANS.

The CVC documents gathered under the Right to Information Act said
that substandard concrete and less quantity of cement were used in the
construction of and refurbishment of Talkatora Indoor Stadium and
Shivaji Stadium.

A majority of samples did not pass the standard array of tests, the
documents found.

'After the reported failure of cubes, non-destructive tests were
carried out as per relevant provisions of Indian standard code and
results were found to vary from good to excellent,' Tiwari said.

He added: 'IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) Delhi also conducted
ND tests and strength of concrete conforms to required strength and
the report was submitted to CTE's office.'
