Security for fifth Indo-Lanka tie beefed up
22.28 IST   04th Nov 2005

By Agencies

Elaborate security arrangements have been made for the fifth one-day international between India and Sri Lanka to be played at the Sardar Patel Stadium in Motera, keeping in mind the recent serial blasts in Delhi.

"Keeping the recent blasts in mind, tight security arrangements have been made both at the stadium and the hotel where the two teams will be staying for the match on November 6," Inspector-General (Gandhinagar Range) Ajay Kumar Tomar told mediapersons in Ahmedabad today.

"At the stadium, security has been beefed up and about 1,400 policemen posted at Motera will ensure that the match passes off peacefully," Tomar said.

"CCTV cameras have also been placed at different points in the stadium that will monitor the spectators and keep an eye on the police deployment during the match," he said.

At the hotel, no strangers will be allowed where both the teams have been put up and only accredited journalists will be allowed to enter the hotel lobby, he said.

Tomar said, "the whole stadium has been divided into different sectors and the security of each sector will be monitored by a senior police official."
