India's sports minister MS Gill has defended security arrangements in Delhi for next month's Commonwealth Games.
Some nations have voiced concerns over potential attacks on their teams, with the Australian Government saying over the weekend that there is a “high risk” of a terrorist attack in the city.
But Gill told BBC Hindi that security officials from more than 70 countries had declared their satisfaction with India's planning for the Games.
He said: "Security will not be just 100 but 120 per cent foolproof. There will be around 100,000 security personnel to ensure safety during the Games."
Security in India has been under scrutiny since the terror attacks of March 2008 in Mumbai that left 101 people dead and 287 injured.
