<p><br /> Commonwealth Games Federation president Michael Fennell says there is still "a lot of work" to be done before the event gets underway in Delhi on October 3.<br /> </p><p><br /> Fennel had a tour of the athletes' village and held a meeting with Indian government officials yesterday following complaints about the readiness of the village.<br /> </p><p><br /> Delhi's preparations have also been hit by failures in the construction of venues. On Tuesday a bridge at the Jawaharlal Nehru complex, the centrepiece of the Games, collapsed leaving over 20 people injured before part of the ceiling at the weightlifting arena fell in on Wednesday.<br /> </p><p><br /> Fennell had said yesterday that he had been heartened by "considerable improvements" made to facilities, but he sounded a more cautionary note today.<br /> </p><p><br /> "There's still a lot of work to be done, to do the final touches, and there's more work in the village. It's not over yet," he told a press conference.<br /> </p><p><br /> Several teams delayed their departures to India due to their concerns, and at one point there were worries that some nations would choose to withdraw from the Games.<br /> </p><p><br /> The event has seen a host of individual competitors opt to pull out, but Fennell confirmed that he was expecting all 71 teams to participate in Delhi.<br /> </p><p><br /> "I am very happy that today we are recording that there will be full participation in the games," Fennell said.<br /> </p>
