The reports will highlight several inadequacies on part of government officials and contractors in executing works for the sporting extravaganza held here between October 3-14 last year.

"We will submit three more reports by March 29. They will be on Commonwealth Games Organising Committee and Games venues-related matters," Shunglu said.

The Committee has already submitted its reports on host broadcasting deal by Prasar Bharti, construction of Games Village and city infrastructure-related projects to the PMO.

In its first report submitted on January 31 on alleged irregularities in awarding broadcasting rights of the sporting event, the Committee recommended strict action against suspended CEO of Prasar Bharti B S Lalli and former Director General (Doordarshan) Aruna Sharma under relevant Sections of IPC and Prevention of Corruption Act.

Whereas in its second and third report on Games Village and City Infrastructure, it named Delhi Lt Governor Tejinder Khanna and Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit for lack of oversight in execution of Games works.
