In a major embarrassment for organisers of the Commonwealth Games, an under-construction foot overbridge on Tuesday collapsed outside the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium in Delhi which is the main venue of the Games , injuring 23 labourers. The 95-metre long bridge was being built along with another overbridge at the cost of Rs 10.5 crore by Chandigarh-based company PNR Infra.

The bridge, whose construction was to be completed soon, was to connect the parking lot of the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium where the opening and closing functions of Commonwealth Games would be held.
