Win Projections to be updated soon
An official has confirmed that over 2,500 police officers will be on duty for the India-Bangladesh T20 match scheduled for Sunday in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. This significant deployment aims to ensure the safety and security of players and fans during the event. The local authorities are taking precautionary measures to maintain order and facilitate a smooth experience for everyone attending the match, reflecting the importance of the event in the cricketing calendar and the enthusiasm of the local crowd.
Over 2,500 police Officers Assigned for The First T20 match:
The extensive security measures are being implemented following a call by right-wing groups for a match-day shutdown, protesting alleged attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh since the Sheikh Hasina government fell in August. To ensure safety, the two hotels accommodating the teams have been fortified with heightened security protocols since Wednesday, according to officials. This move reflects the escalating tensions surrounding the situation and the need for increased protection during the event.
Gwalior Zone Inspector General of Police Arvind Saxena said, “ On the day of the match, personnel will be on the streets from 2pm. They will be on duty till spectators reach home after the game is over. After prohibitory orders were invoked, monitoring has been tightened. We are keeping an eye on social media as well.”
On Thursday, the district magistrate issued prohibitory orders to prevent protests and the dissemination of inflammatory content, particularly on social media, to maintain peace and ensure a smooth match. These orders will remain in effect until October 7. The upcoming game is set to take place at the Madhavrao Scindia International Stadium, which has a seating capacity of 30,000. This precautionary measure aims to create a secure environment for the event.
