If lack of information flow and inefficiency of the support staff was not enough, on the Games closing day more such fiascoes added to the chaos.
With family members and volunteers flooding the workstation arena, the main press centre resembled a market as many journalists did not find a place to sit.
Initially the police barred the entry of non media-persons but eventually it seemed they too relented as about 100, including a few children, flooded the workstation area.
"Thankfully, it's the last day. We had it enough over here," an outstation journalist quipped.
The internet supply too crashed for more than an hour while with jammers in place at the nearby Hotwar Central Jail, the data cards too did not work.
About the Games website, managed by CMC Limited, it's less said the better.
Click on the medals tally and it shows the number of medals won by teams but with a catch- 'subject to official confirmation'- given at the bottom.
Nobody had a clue how reliable was the information put up on the website.
In-charge of the web department said they were helpless as they too were handicapped by the lack of information flow.
Farcical end to National Games
