Terrible planning by North Zone Cultural Centre & Chandigarh Administration


I saw three ads in yesterday's (20th November) The Tribune put up by the North Zone Cultural Centre, Chandigarh. These are short term tender notices for the following items/services for 10 days from 29th November 2013 to 7th December, 2013:

(i) setting up of food stalls showcasing foods of different states of India;
(ii) for providing food to 300 artistes for 10 days, and
(iii) for hiring of light and sound equipment etc.

What is quite amazing is that the last date for submitting the tenders is 26th November 2013 and the 'Mela' is to start from 29th November- after 3 days of the last date.

What does one call it- poor administration and lack of proper & timely pre-planning?
Terrible!.
