Costly beer, tasteless Burgers at Cop-11 !

What better way to impress foreign delegates at the Bio-diversity meet than offering them with their favorites—sandwiches, burgers, pizzas, dance, and of course, a large variety of chilled beers and cocktails.

The Cop-11 summit is soon going to be over and with that the beautification of the city too. Even as delegates from India are busy attending the summit, foreign delegates  are chilling put with some local beers and cocktails at the summit. Different brands of beers are available at the venue and the rates are sure to raise your eyebrows!

Reliable sources at the summit said that many of the delegates looked a tad tipsy in many sessions. For them, it is a routine to have a beer before attending a summit or any other function for that matter. And the buzz is that even to take a print out one has to spend three dollars.

But unfortunately, it is learned the food items being sold there are far from appealing to your taste buds. And to add to the agony, they are being sold at a premium price.  Thus, all the special arrangements have neither impressed them nor being made available to them at an affordable cost.
However, the only good thing to have happened to them is the sight seeing tour organized by the Tourism department. Most of the delegates from 175 countries, who are attending the CoP-11 biodiversity summit in Hyderabad have visited all the famous spots in and around the city.

But, back to the conference, there's no source of joy for them, but to have the over priced beer!
