Dr. M S Gill, Union Minister for Youth Affairs & Sports, dedicated Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Swimming Pool Complex to the nation here today at a function attended by Smt. Sheila Dikshit, Chief Minister of Delhi, Shri Suresh Kalmadi , Chairman Organising Committee for CWG , several sports persons and senior officials of the sports ministry.

Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Swimming Pool Complex was constructed in 1982 to hold Asian Games. For the forthcoming Commonwealth Games, 2010,the existing swimming pool complex has now been upgraded and renovated with the latest state of art facilities so as to meet the international standards required for hosting world class aquatic events. With a total seating capacity of 5000 spectators, the stadium now has the largest cohestrand supported, breathable, elliptical shaped aluminum roof with span of 150m x 130m , which is first of its kind in the world. The stadium will host other multipurpose activities during legacy period. The stadium is the largest covered aquatic stadium in the country having Olympic sized racing and diving pools with a six lanes warm up pool. The work was executed by Central Public Works Department (CPWD), the premiere construction agency of the Government of India for the venue owner Sports Authority of India.

While speaking on the occasion , Dr Gill said the stadiums ,we have built are world class . It is sad that some of the leading sportspersons are not coming to CWG Delhi. It appears that for the Olympic Games, performance in continental events like Asian Games, and Europeans Championships are taken into account. Due to this, the sportspersons don’t attach the same importance to the Commonwealth Games . This matter , Which I will discuss in the meeting of Commonwealth Sports Ministers in Delhi , Dr Gill added. Dr Gill said that Weightifting stadium and Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium will be ready in next few days and all stadiums will be handed over to the Organising Committee ( OC) by 1^st August as per agreement of SAI and OC.

Smt. Sheila Dikshit and Shri Suresh Kalmadi also sopke on the occasion.
