No one complained about it in the
forums... the people there at the barrier were fuming mad and
screaming at the security guards and the Indian chap kept shouting
through his loud hailer "Cant you people follow simple instructions
and just go out?"
In the meantime, people keep
streaming in from the entrances.
Those, including me, that followed
"the simple instructions" and went out, met with the rain and like
so many (some just run across the road in the rain) made our way
back in (on the other side of the barrier, and went out to the
other side (in my case, to Esplanade because my car was parked
there) with no problems!
I had to go out (up) and get
back down on the other side because of the barrier (and so did many
others) and we had no problems going to the other side! That shows
that all the trouble was caused by the barriers setup by the damned
stupid security guards.
You got see the queue baricades at banks? winding left and
right, left and right....
The barricade acts like that... divert people left and right...
to control the crowd. so you have to get out before you get in...
it will also restrict the number of people going to the IT fair
from that point of entry, so you will have to queue there... this
is known as crowd control.
