Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has urged the people of the country to celebrate the 12 days of the upcoming event as festival and cooperate whole heartedly in the successful conduct of the mega event. Though the government also ensured the people that every task of the game will be taken care with complete transparency and all allegations will be thoroughly looked into once the game was over.

Even Finance Minister, A K Walia  requested people to white wash and paint their houses to make Delhi glisten like star in September which they would have undertaken later for Dussehra or Deepawali in his message for the Delhites. He also said that beautiful city will mesmerize the visitors and definitely bring good names to the country.

He also sought full support of the people by saying that the game won’t be successful without their cooperation and requested them to inform the authorities regarding the people involved in defacing the public properties. Earlier, Walia had directed the officials to take action against the act of defacing public properties and clear the national capital of the numerous posters banners and unauthorized hoardings.

Delhi is likely to impose on itself Delhi Defacement act under which the guilty will be required to pay handsome fine and even imprisonment.
