Faridabad-based Gazal Caterer, which had the contract for the Games in Guwahati in 2007, has been awarded the contract this time around as well.

Rahul Khurana, managing director of the company, said, "Some people are trying to malign our reputation by indulging in such things. We take utmost care in preparing food for about 8,000 athletes and officials and 1,000 volunteers everyday."
