As the Cricket World Cup kicks off today, Indian authorities are maintaining a vigilant stance due to concerns over potential terrorism threats, causing apprehension not only among the hosts but also the fans.
Reports in Indian media have indicated threats of attacks during matches in the city, raising valid concerns regarding the safety of both players and spectators.
In response to these threats, security measures have been significantly ramped up in and around the Ahmedabad Stadium. To ensure the well-being of all attendees, a contingent of approximately 3,000 police officers will be strategically deployed at the venue.
To further fortify security, access to the road leading to the stadium will be restricted during matches, creating a foolproof security setup.
Additionally, stringent security protocols will be enforced within the Ahmedabad Stadium during matches. Spectators will be allowed to carry only mobile phones, with all other objects strictly prohibited.
Ahmedabad has the distinction of hosting five crucial matches, including the tournament’s opening encounter and the much-anticipated clash between Pakistan and India. The pinnacle of the competition, the grand final of the ICC World Cup, will also be held at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. As the cricketing world converges on this city, the emphasis on security underscores the commitment to ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
