NEW DELHI, Oct 15: The 2010 Commonwealth Games Organising Committee on Thursday appointed former Indian government secretary Jarnail Singh as its Chief Executive Officer.
The decision to get a CEO was taken by the Organising Committee Chairman Suresh Kalmadi, a statement said.
The statement also added that Badminton Federation of India President V K Verma will continue as the Director-General of the Organising Committee.
In another important decision, the Organising Committee also accepted the resignation of Sport Manager (shooting) Graeme Hudson with immediate effect.
"We express strong resentment at the manner in which the shooting expert Graeme Hudson has been behaving. It believed that it cannot tolerate such misdemeanour whereas the Shooting federation, National Rifle Association of India, has organised a number of international events, including World Cup events, to the satisfaction of the International Shooting Federation," the release said.
In a day of dramatic developments, the Oraganising Committee had also written to the Commonwealth Games Federation to replace the Games’ Chief Executive Officer Mike Hooper with immediate effect, saying the Kiwi was of "no use".
The organisers also rejected the CGF’s proposal to form a high-level independent technical review panel to oversee the Games preparations. (PTI)
