Mullanpur, New Chandigarh is set to host Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). The Punjab police is on high alert and said that the matches are unlikely to be impacted due to security reasons in the aftermath of the recent conflict between India and Pakistan following the barbaric Pahalgam attack.
"There are two very important matches at Mullanpur stadium tomorrow and day after tomorrow. There is a qualifier and an eliminator. People are coming from all corners of India. There is a lot of enthusiasm among the people," Arpit Shukla, Special DGP (Law and Order), Punjab said.
"We have arranged for extensive security around the stadium and its periphery. Today, there is a review of it. Our police force is deployed around 65 Gazetted officers and more than 2,500 is deployed.
"We will ensure that those who are coming do not face any kind of trouble. On the other hand, the security measures will be very strict. Yesterday, we had a rehearsal of the mock drill. Today also the police force is rehearsing the mockdrill," he added.
Meanwhile, fresh civil mock drills are scheduled to be held in four states, including Gujarat, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Jammu and Kashmir, on Thursday. This is being done to bolster emergency preparedness in the aftermath of the conflict with Pakistan earlier this month.
India conducted its first mock drill since 1971 earlier this month, hours before launching Operation Sindoor.
