New Delhi: Just a day left for the big event, the flags that arrived to be fixed on the facade of Common Wealth Games (CWG) Indoor stadiums seemed not fitting to the size of the flag posts. There are more than 40 flag posts, with 1.5 inches diameter, in each stadium, but the flags have holes of 0.5 inch. The workers engaged in fixing the flags are indeed in a fix not knowing how to rectify the mistake.
The flags of the participating nations, the CWG flag, the CWG 2010 Delhi flag and flags of the federations concerned are supposed to be fixed in all indoor stadiums. The lack of proper instructions given by the authorities or the misunderstanding on the part of the supplying company might be the reason for this chaos.However, workers have agreed to re-arrange the flag posts to the size of the flag holes, said one of the volunteers engaged in a stadium.
Another volunteer said this was just one of the many areas where lack of proper arrangement and co-ordination has led to major chaos and confusion. “Do we organize international events in this manner?” asked another volunteer, echoing a sentiment shared by many.
