Commonwealth shame scores high on Twitter

NEW DELHI: India jumped into the world’s twitter map on Thursday. The collapse of a bridge, coupled with the flash of photographs of filthy Games Village across cyberspace, has made the keywords ‘CWG’ and ‘Commonwealth Games’ as the seventh and 10th most tweeted topic in the world by the 190 million twitter community, this week.

Tweet trends in the UK and Australia show ‘Commonwealth’ as the most popular tweeted topic. India’s twitter map also shows CWG, and #CWG as the top-most tweeted keyword, followed by ‘Kalmadi’, ‘Ayodhya’, and ‘Verdict’.

The tweets started pouring from across the world as one of the most accessed news websites in the world, put India’s Commonwealth shame as lead stories on their home page on Thursday. The barrage of tweets from across the world peaked around 2 pm IST on Wednesday, and 3 pm on Thursday.

News coupled with splash of pictures of UK-based DailyMail’s expose of filthy conditions inside some rooms of the Games Village, resulted in angry comments from the world’s 190 million Twitter community. India’s shame splashed across world’s top media sites, made the Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh himself step and take charge of the matter.

Some of the overseas web magazines tweeted about pullout of their local sportsmen, while individual tweeters showered sarcasm on India’s readiness. ‘Cyclingweekly’ magazine service tweeted: Peter Kennaugh and Geraint Thomas have withdrawn from the Isle of Man and Welsh teams for the Commonwealth Games.

‘Djmaxwell’ from Britain said: “Commonwealth games athletes village...I feel sick. Team GB, don’t go!” “Doctor_Hutch from Australia said: “Commonwealth Games kit just arrived. They forgot the chest waders and the biohazard suit.”
Not only on microblogging sites like Twitter, the callous attitude of the Commonwealth Games organising authorities, is also being lambasted by social networkers on Facebook.

Users in India have created forums and groups lambasting the slackness of the organising committee. One of these groups is called Jhel (bear) The Commonwealth Games. The group with over 2000 members has designed its own logo and distributing black bands to protest against the corruption in the Games.

However, there are other groups as well upbeat about the games. Youth volunteers who are likely to help in the organising of the games, are upbeat on this Facebook Group Commonwealth Games XIX, and post regular updates and coordinate for sporty event, despite the media criticism.

Army begins work on Bailey bridge adjacent to JLN stadium
PTI, Sep 25, 2010, 06.22pm IST


NEW DELHI: Army on Saturday began construction of a Bailey bridge outside the Commonwealth Games main venue Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium to replace a foot overbridge that collapsed this week causing major embarrassment to the city government.

The army engineers swung into action after receiving an SOS from the Delhi Government last evening to construct a Bailey bridge "at the earliest" so that common public could go inside stadium without any hassle for the Games which will begin on October 3.

"An army engineering regiment (with about 800 to 1,000 men) has started the work for the Bailey bridge today. We will complete the bridge within the timeframe and hand it over to the games organisers," a colonel-rank officer said.

The Bailey bridge will come up on three pillars. The army has been given five-day deadline to construct the bridge.

The 95-metre-long under-construction foot overbridge had collapsed on September 21 injuring 27 people and raising serious questions over quality and standards of construction of Games infrastructure.

The decision to seek army's help was taken at a high-level meeting on Friday which found that an alternative plan formulated by the PWD for entry of spectators into the stadium from the south side may create security concerns.

A top official of Delhi Government said army is expected to complete putting up the bridge by next Thursday.

"The army engineers said it will take them five days' time to install the new bridge," he said adding that the PWD has been directed to complete construction of the second foot overbridge, work on which was stopped following collapse of the adjacent bridge.

"We will complete construction of the second bridge before commencement of the Games," said a senior PWD official.

Asked about the alternative plan which was put forth following collapse of the bridge, the official said a longer pedestrian route was proposed which would have made the spectators to walk over a kilometre to enter the stadium.

The decision to ask the army to construct the bridge was also taken keeping in view Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's instruction to Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit to put every effort to make the event a success, the official said.

The bridge, which had collapsed on Tuesday, was intended to be a showpiece and was being constructed to connect the parking lot of the stadium with other side of the street in Lodhi Road area in south Delhi

The bridge was being built along with the other overbridge at a total cost of Rs 10.5 crore by a Chandigarh-based company which has already been blacklisted by the city government.
