The Chairman of the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee (CGOC), Suresh Kalmadi, flagged off the 10th Perfect Health Parade to promote a clean, green and hygienic city for Commonwealth Games. The parade concentrated on sensitising doctors about traveler-related sicknesses and their prevention and cure. The parade rolled out a special tableau and mascot of the Games on a vehicle with northeastern folk songs and dances.
The Commonwealth Games 2010 are scheduled to be held in Delhi between October 3 and October 14 this year. Since over a lakh of people are expected to come for Commonwealth games, health and hygiene will be key issues, said Kalmadi.
The games will be the largest multi-sport event conducted to date in India, which had previously hosted the Asian Games in 1951 and 1982. It will also be the second time that the event will be held in Asia after 1998 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
