Enjoyment ends here

By Sudhansu

New Delhi: The whole day’s merriment at the Commonwealth Games venues turns out to be a nightmare as the spectators reach the metro stations or bus-stands near the venues. As they hurry to get back home, they are faced with long, winding queues of commuters trying to catch the earliest metro train or bus.
Tight security check at metro stations makes matters worse. There are no special queues for Games spectators or volunteers. For the volunteers especially it is even more tiresome. Some of them might be coming back after putting up hours of tedious work.
Asish Gupta, a student of Delhi University who is a volunteer, says: “It is a routine thing we face while returning from the Games venues. Though the days are interesting, we are facing major problems at metro stations. It is disgusting to stand in long queues after a day’s tiring work.”
Well, Asish’s words echo the feeling of most volunteers who take Metro to reach the Games Village and venues.
