New Delhi: An exhaustive ground-to-air security will be in place to prevent "Lahore-type" attacks for the Commonwealth Games scheduled to be held in New Delhi in October next year with the athletes to be flown-in charter flights from their home countries.
Heads of Missions of 52 Commonwealth countries were given detailed briefing about the three-tier security arrangements for the Commonwealth Games (CWG) for which there is "no specific threat", Home Secretary GK Pillai said.
Efforts were being made to ensure that normal business in the city does not get affected by the security measures in place for the Games, he said.
A three-tier security ring will be thrown across each of the 13 competition venues for the Games.
Special attention was being given to prevent "Lahore-type" attacks on the athletes who will be taken from the Games Village to the venues in dedicated lanes with helicopters providing air surveillance, Pillai said.
