The organising committee of the Commonwealth Youth Games (CYG) has sought Rs 25 crore from the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) as sponsorship for the games. Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Subhash Dumbre, additional commissioner, PCMC, said that this demand was made at a meeting of PCMC and CYG officials.

CYG 2008 will be held at Balewadi in October. Preparations are on in full swing. The Pune Municipal Corporation and PCMC are developing infrastructure in the areas close to it.

According to Dumbre, the decision on giving Rs 25 crore to CYG will be taken by municipal commissioner Ashish Sharma. CYG officials called for keeping the roads in good condition before the games begin. They also demanded that the PCMC erect advertisement boards along the roads, showing the number of days remaining for the start of the games.

Discussions were held on improving the roads leading to Balewadi and in providing wi-fi services to areas near Balewadi. The PCMC is to provide these services.TNN
