Arun Jaitley Stadium: With day one of the Ranji Trophy match between Delhi and Railways attracting a mind-boggling crowd of 15,000 plus people at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, a senior official in the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) said to IANS that more security personnel have been deployed for day two’s play on Friday.
For day two’s play, security personnel outside the venue told IANS that all gates had been thrown open from 8 am, with an anticipation that more people would come with an eye to see the talismanic Virat Kohli bat. It meant that fans who lined up outside the stadium from 6 am were given an early entry into the stands.
“The Delhi Police had a meeting with the DDCA people yesterday evening on security measures around the stadium and decided to add more security personnel for day two's play, especially with likelihood of Virat Kohli batting for Delhi. More security personnel have also been stationed near the boundary ropes to ensure no intruder runs on the field during the play,” further said the senior DDCA official to IANS.
