Official sources said that a reminder has recently been issued to Central public works department (CPWD), Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and public works department (PWD) in this regard.
The move came after central vigilance commissioner PJ Thomas objected to the "lackadaisical approach" and continuous delay by agencies in submitting replies to the queries raised by the anti-corruption watchdog, they said.
"We have issued reminders to all the agencies and directed them to submit replies. They have been told to give point-wise answers to our queries by the end of October," a senior CVC official said.
He said, based on their replies, the CVC will give its findings or final report to a committee formed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh headed by former comptroller and auditor general (CAG) of India VK Shungloo.
"All the chief vigilance officers (CVOs) in the concerned organisations have been asked specifically to pursue the matter," the officer said.
An analysis by Chief Technical Examination Wing of CVC has found alleged financial and administrative irregularities in 16 construction and procurement projects.
Six of them are being done by PWD, three by MCD, two each by CPWD, DDA, NDMC and one by RITES, a Government of India Enterprise, the CVC report said.
According to the report, "Almost all the organisations executing works for Commonwealth Games have considered inadmissible factors to jack-up the reasonable price to justify award of work at quoted rates citing urgent or emergent circumstances."
The CVC has written a letter of complaint to CBI asking for a probe into alleged criminal conspiracy by unknown MCD officials in granting work for upgradation of street lighting in the national capital.
Meanwhile, the agency has also asked the Commonwealth Games organising committee and the sorts ministry to keep a sample of each items of the equipment and props hired from foreign suppliers for the Games venues ready for its inspection.

Its really a shame that the budget of games reaches above 5 times higher than the estimated price & some items are paid 10 times higher than retail price. Stands are empty and tickets sold in Black Market by some School Officials and from OC. Whom to blame? Corrupted Officials or Mismanaged Govt or Citizens? People would show their smartness by throwing stones at Cricketers houses if the series are lost, but would only show their courage by WOOOOOOOOOOOOO at corrupted Officials & Politicians. At last tax-payers are losers and never be appreciated for their hard earned money contributed or wasted for nothing. Thanks to CWG Mess and Alert Media, PM is now serious about †DEEP CLEANING †of Organizing Committee. But mainly its needed in UPA Govt on corrupted Officials and Politicians also, which would never be done. Until then its only like Trimming a Corruption Tree, but not cut down from its roots. One another proof of Mismanaged Govt, that India wakes up only after its looted by their own Officials or Politicians or attacked by the Home Growns of Troubled Neighborhood.
