NEW DELHI: Security experts say that potential traffic snarls will pose the biggest security risk when thousands of athletes and tens of thousands of tourists gather in New Delhi for the Commonwealth Games in October.

The Indian capital has faced traffic congestion on a daily basis due to the amount of road space being taken up by delayed construction work on games-related projects.

With projects experiencing further delays, it also means less time to plan for security on the ground.

Though there will be dedicated lanes for athletes and delegates, experts believe it may not be easy to keep roads secure during the October 3-14 event.

Security expert Brigadier Vijai Nair feels that “traffic needs to be reduced drastically and security systems tightened on transport systems” during the games.
