India has ended the Commonwealth games on a massive high – with Saina Nehwal’s gold in the women’s badminton singles proving to be the icing on the cake. The closing ceremony due to get underway in a few hours time is bound to be euphoric if nothing else.Welcome to the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games 2010. The onset was marred with controversies, so were the games. Initially there were doubts, about whether we’ll be able to pull it off or not. But today here we are, bidding our goodbye to the games. Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium is again decked up for one last time before the games close for the grand closing ceremony. London, Oct 14 (IANS) Scottish performers didn't get their security passes on time as organisers of the Commonwealth Games closing ceremony carried out a string of last minute changes, a media report Thursday said. As many as 350 volunteers from Scotland are to take part in an eight-minute show to promote the next CWG to be held in Glasgow in 2014.
Daily Telegraph reported that Wednesday night, officials had not issued security accreditation passes to 40 of the performers.
Also, British officials and Glasgow Games Organising Committee members were clueless about when they would perform.
Though they feel that the issue will be resolved in time, they are concerned the growing Indian programme could affect broadcast times and the television audience for Glasgow's showcase.
