Worry Several top athletes have already pulled out of the Commonwealth Games

Many of the participating nations, including England, Scotland and Wales, have complained that the athlete's village is not fit for human habitation.

The organisers on Thursday drafted in 1,000 extra workers each being paid no more than Rs 200 a day in a desperate effort to clear up the mess before the Games' scheduled start on October 3.

Monsoon rains have caused the nearby River Yamuna to burst its banks and stagnant water is a breeding ground for mosquitos which can carry the potentially life threatening dengue fever.
