Today, 30 per cent of the athletes and officials have arrived from various places and by tomorrow this number may touch 80 per cent, he said. Everything was in order and senior district level officials will be monitoring the situation at each one of 12 venues, he said and added due to ongoing rains, there was some problem with athletic track but it would be put in order by Thursday and athletes could practice on it.
