Beijing seems to be the flavour of the season, with senior government functionaries and politicians flying to the city to study the preparations made to tackle the thousands that will land in the Chinese city for the Olympic Games.

Delhi chief secretary Rakesh Mehta, principal secretary (education and culture) Rina Ray and some health officials left for a sixday trip to the Chinese capital to study the arrangements so the experience could be replicated in Delhi.

Joint commissioner of police (traffic) S.N. Shrivastava was also supposed to join the team of Delhi government officials, but was held back in the city because of Independence Day preparations.

He will visit the city August-end.

Not just government and police officials, Delhi Mayor Arti Mehra is also flying off to Beijing to be a part of the `Observer Programme' during the next Olympic Games. The organising committee of the Commonwealth Games Delhi 2010 is conducting this observer programme.

The Beijing Olympic Games is the only mega sporting event before the commencement of the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi in October.

Mehra was selected by the chairman of the organising committee of the Commonwealth Game to participate in the Observer Programme for Beijing Olympics.

"There are two groups which have been formed in the Observer Programme. The mayor is part of one such group. They will look at the various aspects of Beijing Olympics. They will study the way the games are being conducted there. They will further access which all ideas can be implemented here at the 2010 Commonwealth Games," said an MCD official.HTC
