Revealed: The awful squalor found at the Commonwealth Games athletes' village as time runs out for organisers
New pictures released today have revealed the full squalor facing competitors arriving at the Commonwealth Games athletes' village.
The pictures, taken by a BBC undercover reporter, show dirty bathrooms, exposed electricity cables, bedsheets covered in animal footprints, and flooding in filthy toilets and basins.
An advance party of English athletes is due to arrive in Delhi today despite safety and accommodation concerns that could see the team pull out of the crisis-hit Commonwealth Games, which start on October 3.
On Tuesday, 23 people were injured when a footbridge collapsed and yesterday the ceiling of the weightlifting arena fell in.
Commonwealth Games falling apart?
In a day of huge embarrassments, the international Games federation says the athletes' village is filthy and unlivable. An over-bridge at the JNU stadium collapses
