Poor arrangements irk marathon contestants

PUDUCHERRY: All participants who turned up for the Puduvai Marathon, held on Sunday morning, felt disappointed. They charged that the arrangements were poor and that the organisers had not intimated them about the change of route in advance. Also, there was no drinking water provided. Another grouse was that they had not been given proper chest numbers for identification. A few youth allegedly ransacked the temporary arrangements at the venue. The organisers could could not even identify the winners because of the prevailing chaos.
