Kindly guide me in properly resolving this bug.

The calendar data is invalid.

In particular the VTIMEZONE component is bogus:

BEGIN:VTIMEZONE
TZID:CET
TZNAME:Europe/Madrid
END:VTIMEZONE

The TZNAME property that appears there is not defined for use within that component, it is only allowed in STANDARD and DAYLIGHT components. Neither of STANDARD or DAYLIGHT is present which is also a violation of the specification. Thus the specific VTIMEZONE is totally useless as it does not contain any information.

Next, the DTSTAMP values are wrong, e.g.:

DTSTAMP:20090721T170000

The value is required to be specified in UTC - i.e. a trailing 'Z' on the value is missing.

The URL values are not well-formed, e.g.:

URL:/dc9_schedule/events/483.en.html

Really they should have http://<<host>> specified to make them useful.

You need to get the originator of this calendar data to fix their code to generate valid iCalendar data.
