Team delegates have described the accommodation as filthy, unhygienic and unfit for human habitation.
But organisers of the event, which runs from 3 to 14 October, said the facilities would be excellent.
Meanwhile, police said 23 labourers were injured as a bridge being built near the main Games venue collapsed.
New Zealand, Scotland, Canada and Northern Ireland have demanded their teams be put up in hotels if their accommodation is not ready.

"The Commonwealth Games Federation head has demanded the Indian government take immediate steps to improve conditions at the athletes' village in Delhi. Team delegates have described the accommodation as filthy, unhygienic and unfit for human habitation"
Oh but it's fine for the Indian people to live in such squalor unfit for human habitation! And also, like the Government doesnt have enough worries right now with the floods and mass migration of homeless people who need food and drink, ofcourse it was ridiculous for such a country to take on the burden of hosting even more ridiculous competitive games (Dont get me started on south africa and the world cup) but I doubt that this was a decision that was left to the indian people to decide. - 1 year ago

Ouch, and they're been building the stadium and village since 2009 (they're rewarded the staging role back in 2003), not good role model for staging a global athletic championships. I've got my fingers crossed London will be ready when the olympics begins in 2012 when they started building days after they won the bid (New Delhi, please take note).
