ORGANIZERS of the Commonwealth Games are considering giving away free tickets to children in an effort to fill venues at the crisis-hit event.
Local organizing committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi says "steps are being taken in that direction."
The competition program for the Commonwealth Games began yesterday and many venues were nearly empty. Kalmadi says the problem has been fixed by putting ticket booths at every venue.
Commonwealth Games Federation President Michael Fennell says the lack of spectators is "one area which causes us concern."
Also today, India won its first gold medal of the games. Abhinav Bindra and Gagan Narang won the 10-meter air rifle pairs event.
