World Hindi Sameelan At Fiji Fizzled?

A delegation of 165 was decided comprising prominent poets, writers, Hindi activists etc to represent the country in the 12th World Hindi Sammelan of Fiji source says. Logistics and other arrangements were made for hassle-free stay and participation of 165 visiting eminent personalities source says. The Foreign Minister was there to inaugurate this important event but at the last moment the government thought that the delegation is quite large and had many bureaucrats and drastically reduced the strength from 165 to 51 source says. The delegates on arrival asked to go back by return flight because the participation of 114 delegates became unauthorized source says. Hotel accommodations were already booked, and return tickets were with them but all had to hurriedly come back due to a delayed government decision source says. In the country, everyone feels proud of Hindi and such actions show the apathy of the government towards Raj Bhasha source says. In the last sammelan also mismanagement was criticized by many participants and seems the government has not taken any lessons within time resulting in financial loss of the exchequer and waste of time of prominent person source says.
